could I would love to know about it.

The players (companies) are the same as the ones who implement
AAC+SBR, e.g. Fraunhaufer and Coding Technologies and Neural, aren't
they.

Of the three companies you mention, Coding Technologies is the one
that has an AAC+SBR implementation (under the tradename aacPlus).

But you miss the point. You are relying on inferences and guesswork
for something that -- whether a correct guess or an incorrect guess --
ought to be public information, but isn't. This is of great concern
to me because of its consequences.
