There's a lot of FUD regarding WMAL licensing, but it seems pretty
straight forward; one time $5k for decoder source, and $.1 per unit.

Of course the cost for SD to actually implement the decoder is a
different story.
And of course SlimDevices won't comment on features that may or may not be added in the future. There are plenty of feature requests out there and they won't all get fixed at once. For example, at least WMAL files do play -- there are plenty of audio files that simply won't play at all (pretty much any DRM'd files) so whether or not WMAL is high up on the list is simply speculation.
