Cannot add M4a files to media library

Most of my music is ripped into M4A format. Prior to WMP11, Windows Media
Connect handled music streaming to my Xbox 360. It supported the M4A files,
so I could play them on my 360.

Now I was forced to upgrade to WMP11. Lo and behold, It does not support
M4A. I've tried half a dozen plugins that supposedly add support, but none
of them work. The closest I could get was a plugin that was supposed to add
both M4A and M4P, but ONLY added M4P -- which is useless, of course...they
don't play.

This is a huge feature regression that is incredibly frustrating to me. How
can I get M4A added to my media library, and therefore stream them to the 360?
