Well, there is a downside although a minor one - if the format is being transcoded at the server, you can't use FFWD/RWD at the squeezebox/transporter. However OP's concern I think is how to get transcoding from WMAL on a Linux box... I can't write authoritatively on that, so won't try. Only two thoughts that occur to me - (1) use FLAC in the library and put a FLAC-decoder in WMP on the Windows box and (2) don't use Linux for the server!
