This is my understanding.  There are three parts to conversion.

1. Conversion rules - .conf files - define what is possible and how -
NOT what is enabled.
2. The enabling/disabling of the rules - this depends on availability
of relevant app (e.g. lame, wmadec, mplayer) and also enable/disable
flag setting in pref file.
3. Slimserver has a preference order to pick from possible rules the
"best" rules for output - e.g. native first, flac next. I din't know
this preference order.

.conf files are never changed by slimserver. 
custom-convert.conf files will override similar rules in the
convert.conf file. I don't know the order in the case of mulitple
custom-convert.conf files.


If a user "disables" a rule through setting/Fletypes - that setting
will be dsaved in the pref file.
