not handle ALAC when that was introduced.  I now use mplayer to handle
transcoding of AAC and ALAC (as well as WMA and RealAudio).Mplayer has
been ported to windows so it might be what you are looking for you.

I would suggest reviewing some of the posts about AlienBBC, I believe
that the new Windows version of the plugin installs a version of
mplayer and sets up Slimserver to use it for Real Audio streams.  You
can then edit your convert.conf file to have it use mplayer for .mov
files. Here are the lines I use for transcoding.

Code:
--------------------
    mov mp3 * *
  [mplayer] -novideo -vc dummy -vo null -cache 128 -af 
volume=0,resample=44100:0:1,channels=2 -ao pcm:waveheader:file=/dev/fd/4 $FILE$ 
4>&1 1>&2 2>/dev/null | [lame] --silent -q 2 -b $BITRATE$ - -
  
  mov wav * *
  [mplayer] -novideo -vc dummy -vo null -cache 128 -af 
volume=0,resample=44100:0:1,channels=2 -ao pcm:waveheader:file=/dev/fd/4 $FILE$ 
4>&1 1>&2 2>/dev/null 
--------------------

These most likely wont work "as is" for you since these are tweaked for
my linux box, but they might get you pointed in the right direction. I
would also look at the entries AlienBBC makes in the
slimserver-custom.conf file for Real Audio to see how the output from
mplayer is handled on a windows box.
