If you didn’t care about transcoding audio, you could change ff-plugins.c to change the content-type from audio/wav to video/mpeg. that might do it.

Did that a couple of days ago, didn’t work either. @rpedde wrote:

As far as itunes closing the connection, it does that when it doesn’t understand the header that it received, or it isn’t a streamable format (either because the qt component won’t work with a streaming file, or because the m4v/mov/mp4 metadata isn’t optimized for fast-start).

I’m trying to figure out how to do this now. Seems I can’t use ffmpeg because that will require me to use qt-faststart to – leading to a to long delay – ~38 minutes to convert it to a MOV then an additional ~38 minutes to fix the header with qt-faststart.
