This sounds great. What is needed to be done to get aac latm working with a xine frontend? Do i need only to compile the xine-lib1.2? Does the vdr-plugin-xine or the vdr-plugin-xineliboutput needed to be updated to support aac latm? What about the xine frontend or the vdr-sxfe frontend?

You need to build xine-lib (1.1.x) from hg repository.
AAC LATM from .ts files and xine-lib DVB input works. You can freely switch between audio channels of different types. Switching between mpeg/AAC-LATM/EAC3 TV channels does not work in all cases. It should work if you don't switch to TV channel using different audio coding on the same audio channel #.
Do i need only to compile the xine-lib1.2?
Patches haven't been merged to 1.2 branch yet ?

Probably only xine-side plugins need to be updated (xine-lib mpeg PES demuxer for vdr-xine ? and libxine1-xvdr for vdr-sxfe).
vdr-sxfe still needs some fixes to xine-lib for AAC-LATM and EAC3. The problem is that ffmpeg-based audio codecs need to be initialized using header buffers. Unfortunately header buffers can't be used after each channel switch; those are never freed so this would result in engine lock-up after N channel switches.
