Flash/Flex: play embedded AAC audio?

Is it possible to play an embedded AAC file in Flash/Flex somehow? I know you can playback embedded MP3 files, but I hear that you can't do that with AAC. Anyone know any sneaky ways to get around this?

By way of illustration, here's come code.

[Embed(source='../../audio/music02.m4a', mimeType="audio/aac")]
private static const __ExampleMp4File:Class;
public var myMp4Sound:Sound = new __ExampleMp4File();

public function EmbeddedAudioTest()
{
  myMp4Sound.play();
}

Unfortunately you can't. If you convert the audio file to video with just an audio track, then you can play it.

This does seem like a silly oversight in the player since it has support for playing embedded sound and support for AAC embedded in video.
