Hmm, not much luck here. I did find this on sourceforge, but I don't think it's exactly what your looking for. Hopefully someone else has some more info.

What do you mean? To be able to play them when they're just audio or when they're muxed into a video file (which really makes it an AAC, not an m4a - I hate that extension so much).
If you mean audio-only, Winamp can play them just fine if you have the mp4 plugins for it (Winamp 5 comes with those decoders automatically; Winamp 2.95 has AAC decoding functions in it's MPEG Audio decoder, but I think you still need AudioCoding.com's mp4 plugin to play MP4 or M4A files).
If you want it in Windows Media Player, Haali's Matroska Splitter has an MP4 splitting function, and that has to be used in conjunction with CoreAAC or some other filter that gets installed by Nero or whatever other company. ffdshow's audio decoder can also play AAC files. Raw AAC files also need the parser that's available at Rarewares.
Quicktime will play it just fine if it's in the mp4 container (which m4a files are) or possibly if they're in raw AAC form as well. This applies for videos in the mp4 container as well. VLC supports AAC and MP4 decoding right out of the box as well, as does mplayer.
If you want to play videos with AAC audio in WMP, you'll need Haali's Matroska Splitter so that you can use the MKV or MP4 splitters, and you'll need CoreAAC or ffdshow, just like if you want to play them by themselves.
