that's not quite correct. It's rather than there was no need so far for 
existing implementations to have parameters on decode, this was never a 
limitation of the design, see e.g. the comments below:

/* AAC modes are required for encoders and decoders */

/*
  * IEC modes are mandatory for decoders. Format autodetection

  * not be used, the PCM codec should be used instead.
