 Welcome to trac and thanks for the report!

 The issue with the above files should ideally be fixed by adding right
 associations in `wp_get_mime_types` function inside
 `wp_includes/functions.php` file.


 {{{
 'mp3'   => 'video/mp4',
 'm4a'   => 'application/octet-stream',
 }}}


 The issue with `recording6021333337014136895.mp3 video/mp4` has actually
 resolved by the above approach but the `m4a` one is not responding to it!

 I downloaded few sample `m4a` sample files and they uploaded correctly
 since the mime-types of those are all `audio/x-m4a`, and this is the value
 returned by `get_real_type` function.

 Although adding a correct association should work (`'m4a' => 'application
 /octet-stream'`) and the `mime-type` of your file is indeed `application
 /octet-stream` I am not sure why it is being rejected! However, none of
 the `m4a` files I downloaded is of `application/octet-stream`.

 Can you send another `m4a` of `application/octet-stream` type file for
 further testing please?
