Some more thoughts and things to try out.

1. Testing WAV and FLAC may not be a good test as they may have been
sent directly to SB.   Try playing a WMA file with Windows Media
builtin disabled. 

2. I think the problem could be associated with loading QuickTime
libraries as mov123 uses QuickTime libraries.  Making sure SoftSqueeze
and QuickTime (in the systray) are not running.  Try to play one of
your m4a file using Quicktime player - is there a delay ? If there is
no delay then test is inconclusive as QuickTime could preload
libraries. 

3. If Quicktime is the common problem and not file access then you
could try to use a different decoder such as mplayer.  Here are the
steps

A. Download, unzip and install mplayer.exe in the same directory as
mov123.exe.  The link beow is for more recent build 1.0rc1 than in
AlienBBC.  Don't forget to make mplayer a trusted app.

After installing, from a cmd box try running mplayer and make sure you
get a banner.
B. Download, unzip and install custom-convert.conf in the same
directory (i.e. server) as convert.conf.

C. Restart Slimserver and check that there are 4 Apple entries in
Filetypes - mov123 handles AIFF - mplayer will handler and be checked
for Apple WAV, FLAC and possibly MP3
D. Try an m4a file and if there is a delay post the log.

4. New version of debug socketwrapper - has a few more messages and the
counters are fixed (they were stuck at zeo in previous version)
