Sorry if I missed something in this thread, but what's the down side
of ogg->pcm on the server?  Bandwidth to the SB?  I suspect that
might be the issue for higher bitrates.  (Yes, I'm not an audio
engineer.)

I have quite a bit to learn.  I just got my SB1 and and for some
reason I thought my ogg were going to get encoded to mp3 by the
server -- I guess I saw the "ogg mp3 * *" entry in convert.conf.  But
it seems they are sent pcm (correct?) as I don't see lame running.

And with all the talk of the better DAC on SB2, does that even come
into play if I (someday) use the S/PDIF or optical output?

I hope the answers are not too far over my head. ;)
