Agreed. I believe if you go to Settings->Advanced->File Types you can find
the WAV->WAV entry which is probably set for "NATIVE" by default. Change
this to "disabled" and I believe SqueezeCenter will automatically perform
this transcode to FLAC.  You will not lose any sound quality but it should
reduce the network and buffer usage dramatically.  It's worth a shot
anyway...
