        </body>
    </smil>

is there something i have to config to play mp3 ext. or there is error on the smil config in audio smil?

There should be no need to use a SMIL file for audio only unless you are using our Loop until Live module.
https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-loop-a-pre-roll-until-a-live-stream-starts-loopuntillive

Playback from your loop until live feed would come from the name of the live source you define via the “loopUntilLiveOutputStreams” property. For example:
http://[server-address]:1935/live/Stream1/playlist.m3u8

We have an article on how to play back content via Apple HLS directly.
https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-playback-on-apple-ios-devices-cupertino-apple-hls

You will need to use a link as follows in your embed code.
http://[server-address]:1935/vod/mp3:mohini.mp3/playlist.m3u8

We do not support audio in an AAC container. Our server specifications can be found at the link below.
https://www.wowza.com/products/streaming-engine/specifications

You will need to put your AAC audio in an MP4 container. Once done you can use this to play it directly.
http://[server-address]:1935/vod/mp4:mohini.mp4/playlist.m3u8

For best compatibility you should follow the information in the article below to packets both audio/video and audio only streams as TS.
