When using SamCast to encode Live audio in AAC+, how is it packetized; MPEG2, MPEG2-TS, MPEG4, MPEG4-TS etc?
Or do you know a common reason why an HTML5 player would not stream an AAC+ live feed but does play the MP3 version?

I am told that for HTML5 to play an AAC stream it must be in an MP4 wrapper.
My IceCast server shows it as audio\aacp while it shows audio\mpeg for my MP3 streams.

Any information is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Obviously MPEG-4 is the correct format. (AAC+/HE-AAC => MPEG-4 Part-3)
MPEG-2 is only valid for AAC (without plus or HE).

I've got no idea if streaming audio is supported by HTML5 <audio> element at all.
If MPEG-TS or PS would be needed for that it's impossible to use Shoutcast or Icecast for this purpose. The "streaming" audio of these servers is not compatible with Transport or Program Streams.

AFAIK, streaming audio like Shoutcast or Icecast is not officially supported and might just work by accident.

Thank you for the feedback Benedikt.

"AFAIK, streaming audio like Shoutcast or Icecast is not officially supported and might just work by accident."?
What is not officially supported for IceCast use?

The HTML5 standard only says something like "this is the HTML5 audio element and this is the structure, now go ahead and implement whatever audio formats and sources you like".
Apparently my information is a bit outdated. I last looked at the HTML5 audio element 2 or so years ago and back then it was a catastrophe because every browser supported different codecs.

Here's some up to date information from the Mozilla Developer Network:
