I just purchased a new Intel based Mac Mini as a graduation present for
a friend's son.  Since I’m completely Mac-ignorant, I thought I would
kick the tires on it a bit and educate myself.

I got v 6.5b1 from today's nightlies installed, no problem.  I'm
currently playing some of my whole album flacs via softsqueeze from an
external (NTFS formatted!) hard disk.  This all couldn't have been
easier or more straight forward.  My congratulations to all our plucky
coders for making slimserver so @#$% good.

One quick question: since I'm working with "whole-album" flacs, the
system is doing flac to flac transcoding.  I notice, using the mac
Activity Monitor utility, that the running flac processes are
identified as "PowerPC" rather than native Intel processes.  I assume
that this means that the flac modules were compiled for PowerPC
processors and are running under emulation.  I'm noticing a little bit
of drop-out behavior that I assume would go away with a Intel compiled
flac.

I did a little poking around on the internets and didn't find a native
Intel compiled flac for OSX.  Anyone have an idea where I could find
one or when one will be bundled into slimserver 6.5?
