[Mp4-tech] [HE-AAC] PS conformance test

[Dattaguru B.N.]

Dear Alex,
3GPP recommmends ODG test for PS Conformance unlike MPEG!
ISO also provides Conformance tool for validating PS in similar way as that of SBR.
I have query on PS Conformance.  If you see the PS conformance streams, they have PS data starting only
from the middle of the stream.  If my decoder searches for presence of PS only in the first frame and in 
audioConfig info,  it will not be able to detect PS!
Can experts, please let me know how to handle such a scenario.  If I were to support these kind of (PS flagged
in the middle of the stream) should I have to create stereo always?  If so, how can we support Mono (AACLC and SBR) 
streams?  Or if I say my decoder is eAACPlus decoder, its output will be always stereo?
Thanks in advance,
Datta
