My music collection is stored as FLAC files.

I understand that my SB3 and SB2 can play these streaming FLAC files.

How do I set up the Squeezecenter server so that it streams in WAV
format to the clients instead of FLAC?  Is there a setting under
Advanced....File Types for this?  

Am I correct in assuming that "WAV format" is another name for  44.1
khz / 16 bit stereo linear PCM in this instance?

Someone suggested I try having the FLAC transcoded to WAV  on the
Squeezecenter server PC and stream in WAV format, that the SB client
would have less work to do and the result might be better sound (from
lower jitter?)

I am skeptical that it will sound different, but I am willing to try it
to see if I can hear any difference.  I have pretty good audio gear
(Quad electrostatic speakers, clas-A amplifier, etc) and it is possibile
that if there's a difference in sound I might be able to hear it.
