Thank you for the suggestion, but that didn't actually work for me.  For
some reason I got multiple copies of faad running with that and
SlimServer's cpu jumped to 90+%. In the end after a litlle searching
through the new convert.conf for ideas I came up this setup that is
working for me.

mov flc * *
        [faad] -w -f 2 $FILE$ | [flac] -cs --compression-level-0 --endian
little --sign signed --channels 2 --bps 16 --sample-rate 44100 -

Now when streaming aac files to SoftSqueeze direclty as flac I see about
11% CPU (6% slimserver, 3% faad & 2% flac). That's down about 20% from
what  used to go towards reencoding with lame.

Thanks again...
