How popular are, say, hardware HE-AAC decoders out there? I have no
idea. And I also don't know how much coverage for the Main profile there is
out there...

I can try some audio on a Chinese (super small) settop box that I have, and
on my N900. I seem to remember that Apple claims that the iPod (at least
mine) only supports LC AAC profile.

I have never tried an AAC file with Parametric Stereo or with SBR.

Perhaps not a drop-in replacement, but an alternative implementation with a
different name?
