It's not about the iPhone supporting aac+; it does. v1 at least.

When I visit a 32kbit aac+ Shoutcast stream in Safari directly (the iPhone will stream shoutcast directly but obviously won't show song titles), the iPhone opens up the QuickTime streaming interface and starts playing. After half a second, the frequency bumps up from 22KHz to 44KHz as expected.

When I visit the same channel in the official Shoutcast app, it never bumps up the frequency and sticks stuck at 22KHz. It quite frankly sounds horrible, while viewing the Shoutcast stream with the iPhone's own software directly sounds significantly better.

I'm not sure if it supports v2, as it can be hard to tell if something is mono/stereo. But the iPhone *definitely* properly supports aac+ v1 at the very least, and the Shoutcast app doesn't.

This is a problem.
