Andrew,

I fixed the last known stability problem in the aac driver in early 
June.  I don't want to guarantee that it is bullet-proof now, but it
certainly is better than it was a few months ago and better than it
was in 5.2.1.  I'd advise sticking with 5.2.1 and backporting the
latest aac driver sources to it.  Doing this should be fairly trivial,
and I'm happy to help if you get stuck.
