Yeah, but I'd obviously prefer not to transcode, because that's lossy. |

Well, I tried that. |

youtube-dl -x --audio-format best http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07fl5bh |

This gives an .m4a file which also does not play on the device. |

The question may boil down to the Google Drive audio / video player, and its (in)ability to play AAC audio. But that would be surprising, don't you think? |

I'm reluctant to do that at present, because I have a "perfectly good" audio stream already. |

The .mp4 or .m4a files I have play just fine in VLC or Quicktime Player. |

I assumed that it should only be necessary to repack the audio into a different container to get it to play. |

In my experience most players conform to Postel's Principle, being liberal in the input they'll accept. When I've had media playback problems before, I think it's usually been a container issue. |
