As has already been said, this won't work, the SB will not play AAC
without server-side transcoding.
There is very little downside to having the stream transcoded on the
server, though: the only functionality you lose is ffwd/rew within a
track while playing.
Is your concern about the load on
Are you trying to stream AAC to a Roku ?
AFAIK Roku does not support AAC in slimserver emulation.

Interesting call, bpa, but I think not - b_prem has started at least a
dozen threads on this or similar topics over the last 6 or 7 months. I
think s/he is trying to stream to a homemade software client, so we may
not be able to help much here. Here is just one of many ...
If he's trying to work with a software client, I suppose he could do
something wacky like encapsulate his AAC files with a RIFF (wav)
header. It'll play noise on a Squeezebox since AAC data is not a valid
wav file, but the data will be intact on the other end for his software
to decode as it
I believe that the answer is No, although I can't find a document to
corroborate. The SB 2/3 can natively decode WAV, FLAC, MP3, and WMA
(not lossless).

Why is this an issue? It's a completely transparent process.
