[Avid-L2] Exporting QT ProRes 422HQ with PCM audio?

 

Cross posting this because of the QT nature of the ?.  I have to deliver a QT file for an hour long show.  The video is ProRes 422HQ and the audio  is codec PCM, Sample Rate: 48KHz, Bit Rates: 24 or 16, Channels: 2-Channel Stereo; 4-16 Master.  I'm exporting from Avid and have set up the prores using 601/709 color space and everything for the audio makes sense but I have no choice of PCM.  If I choose mpeg 4 audio the audio is aac stereeo in QT 7.  I can't remember if that is the same as PCM, is it?  I was worried that aac would be too compressed but I think I was thinking of ac3 which is more of a delivery format.  Since it has to be a self contained movie I believe the only way to get the additional audio tracks will be to add them in QT pro.  There is a way using reference movies but that would not allow me to create a ProRes 422HQ from avid media, right?  Would it make sense to export a QT ref with all the necessary audio and then combine
that with a prores export of the video in QT pro?  I was pleasantly surprised to see the QT prores export from avid has sequence timecode according to QT 7 toggled to show time code.  I forget when Avid started putting sequence time code on QT exports.  TIA
