So, are you saying that WMAL transcoding is only supported on SS
running on Windows? If so, there is even another reason to support WMAL
in firmware.

As for the FLAC/WMAL "war": For me it comes down to usability since
they both are lossless and should produce the same result. I have no
problems helping friends with a one time SS setup, but if I have to
help them getting FLAC to work with the software that comes with "MP3"
player XXX or cell phone YYY every time they get something new it
becomes a hazzle.

But, most important, what is SD's official take on WMAL support in
firmware?
