For SB2 and later, it will want to use FLAC for lossless (or something
it has to transcode).  The SB1 it will use WAV for streaming.  The
'capabilities' of the TP and SB2/3/Classic are almost the same, the
difference is transporter supports higher sample rates and bit depths
(ie, 24/96).

In the case of such a file it will transcode the flac to 24/48 for the
SB2/3/Classic and leave as-is for the TP.

Hrrm, good question.  Someone stole my radio, so can't check right now.

(The bad part of bringing the radio to work is they keep stealing it to
show off cool networking toys.  I should get a commission on sales of
the damned thing, but nooo... I just have to have no music for 3
hours...)
