Sorry. I had better go away. I am clearly unable to explain myself, or comprehend your very thorough answers, and I must be very stupid. Apologies for wasting your time once more.

The internet radio case isn't the same as the UPnP case. In the UPnP case, the control point can receive multiple streams with different types and choose one of these streams based on what it knows about renderer capabilities. In the internet radio case, there is no UPnP control point so MinimStreamer is sending a single stream and it needs to be MinimStreamer that makes the choice.

You said in an earlier post that you want to be able to mix multiple UPnP renderers and internet radios when using the same MinimServer instance and the same transcoding settings. In this case, it isn't possible for "aac to be processed in the same way every time" because the UPnP processing is necessarily different from the internet radio processing.

Simon, I believe you are suggesting *:wav24/L16, aac:wav24/L16/-^ will provide a general solution to aac transcoding whether aac is explicit or not. Can you explain how that works for UPnP of different capabilities plus Internet Radios?
