Running the file through FFmpeg at the command-line, the problem appears to be that the DAB stream uses 960 samples per frame rather than the more common 1024.

960 is a legitimate frame size per AAC specification.

FFmpeg know about this but don't want to fix it. It seems that you need the libfaad2 decoder compiled with 960 support to play such a file, but FFmpeg no longer supports that.
