Hi all,

I tried searching the forums but came up empty so I thought I'd ask...
is there any way for SlimServer to stream AAC rather than mp3?  I'm
specifically talking about streaming to internet clients, i.e. pointing
xmms, iTunes, or some other player to http://<SlimServer
URL>:9000/stream.mp3 ... that URL is clearly only for mp3.  Is there a
similar URL for streaming AAC (stream.m4a perhaps)?  I couldn't find
mention of this in the docs either, so I'm thinking that this is not
supported.

If this functionality does not exist, would it be possible to include
it?  If my library is encoded as AAC then I would not want to transcode
it to MP3 prior to streaming... since iTunes can handle streaming AAC
just fine, I'd like to be able to point it to my SlimServer and listen
to my AAC files "as is."

I understand that SlimServer would not be able to transcode non-AAC
files into AAC, as it currently does for MP3 (since it can convert all
other formats into MP3)... basically what I'm looking for is simply a
way to bypass the MP3 transcoding and just stream the AAC files
directly.

Any thoughts?
