I have the FLAC Input plug-in enable in Winamp; and so Winamp will play
FLAC files as FLAC direct from my hard-drive. But I seem only able to
stream from Slimserver to Winamp in on-the-fly converted MP3. That's
no big deal at all - but should a Winamp with the PLAC plug-in be able
to pull FLAC as FLAC from Slimserver? [I appreaciate that, even if it
could, bandwith / bitrate will be a horrible issue].
No, stream playing from SlimServer to any client other than a
Squeezebox or Softsqueeze is always in MP3. It will always convert.
Also I'm not 100% sure FLAC can be streamed.
From slimserver, it cannot. The stream url is stream.mp3 for a
reason. When the server sees a connection over http using that url,
it creates an "http-type" client. This client is flagged as only
supporting MP3. Perhaps soemtime in the future that may change.
There are a couple of enhancements filed to have that, but as you can
imagine, it isn't the top priority.
