Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Replying to [comment:11 desrosj]:
 > r42697 also adds support to the media player for `.aac` files. This does
 not work in FireFox, though (https://caniuse.com/#search=aac). The player
 will draw correctly, but the media will not play. Because of this, I think
 that part of the commit should be reverted.

 I've tested several `.aac` files in Firefox on Windows 10 and they worked
 as expected, though I guess they might not work in other configurations.
 For reference, [attachment:small-audio.aac] is one of the files I used.
 It's `small-audio.flac` from the test suite, converted to AAC.

 That said, I have no problem reverting that part of the commit and
 reconsidering it at some point later when Firefox fully supports AAC.
