>Description:
As I am a newbie with these kind of requests please forgive me if I am not clear enough or perhaps missing information, but I do my best

When playing high resolution music files with the  extension .M4u Adacious fails to play them.

It appears that the necessary plugins are not included. 
>How-To-Repeat:
Playing high resolution music files with the extension .M4u which is also be found in the MP4 files. When playing these files, Adacious fails to play them. 
>Fix:
Can you please update the port for Adacious and include the audio codecs which enables Adacious to play the high resolution files. As there are licences under the Apache license , it is Open source, so no legal issues here .  The important information about that can be found on the following websites:

If you need more information, please let me know.
