Ibook Author audio (AAC) media widget rejected in validation??

We have a complex image, video and music book from the Arctic created on ibooks author. Everything seems to validate through itunes producer on delivery except for this error message.

ERROR ITMS-9000: "Files of type audio/x-m4a are not allowed outside of widgets: assets/media/Arctic_master_music.m4p" at Book (MZItmspBookPackage)

We've done everything in widget sizing, placement, audio encoding to aac from QT, itunes and compressor. We can't get past there error? Is there a bug in the ibook author or am I missing someting.

Any ideas. The videos work fine, just the audio clip/

As long as it's optimizing the files it may still publish correctly.

Now that I uploaded all 9, I am getting halted for "Books must not contain marketing materials or advertisements except as part of a catalog". The drama continues...
