The key point here would be to disable the file types transcode
from WAV to FLAC. This would prevent the CPU load on the server
at the expense of network bandwidth.

I can just about see that you might want to do this on a player
by player basis if some players were on a wired network, and
others were on a wireless, and your CPU wasn't powerful enough
to do the flac encode for all payers at the same time.....

I can't see this affecting too many people though.
