Indeed, no more crash. The sound isn't what it should be though.
Appears to work fine with libfaad... Are you taking such bug reports?
I've found another one that plays fine with --enable-libfaad
--disable-decoders=aac as well, but not with our built-in decoder, and
giving me a lot of stdout:

$ ./ffplay rtsp://inet.orban.com/mp4.sdp

[aac @ 0x2034e00]SBR not implemented. Update your FFmpeg version to
the newest one from SVN. If the problem still occurs, it means that
your file has a feature which has not been implemented.

Is this being worked on? If not, might be a point where I start
looking at lavc (I first want the decoder LGPL before I touch it, btw,
I can chase Walken if you want and are confident we've done what he
asked for).
