@James Lewis: I did some preliminary looking into this bug with Andrew and it isn't that media-hub doesn't support playing .m4a files, it in fact does. The issue is that this file includes a jpeg image stream while most m4a files do not do this for cover art. So I believe what is going on is that it's trying to use the hardware decoder gstamc plugin to decode this stream when in fact it should be using a software GStreamer plugin to do this. Although I haven't proven this is what's happening yet, it's my current theory.
