I currently have the following configuration:

Server:  Buffalo Terastation 1TB Live running Twonkyvision
Clients: Roku Soundbridge M2000 & PS3
Audio:   Meridian Audio G68 Processor
Network: 100Mbps LAN using Solwise 200Mbps Homeplugs
Music:   I have a huge collection of CD’s to rip and want to use a
lossless compression such as .flac or .wma lossless.

In my early days of playing (and paying! for Twonky), I have discovered
that it doesn’t quite fit the bill and this has left me with a few
questions which I can’t find specific answers to on the forum search. 
I’m looking for an alternative server solution and have had Slimserver
recommended to me.

Perhaps you guys can help?  

1) Firstly, can Slimserver (SS) be installed on a Buffalo NAS
Terastation Live (ARM processor)?  Are there any compiled install
routines for ARM builds as I’m a bit of a Linux newbie, but have a good
technical grasp of command lines.

2) Do people use SS with Roku clients and is the display on the Roku
used effectively. i.e. the display isn’t truncated by SS, with SS
thinking that it’s a SS hardware device and the Roku searching is
retained?

3) I have discovered that the PS3 cannot playback .flac.  It might be
possible in a future firmware release if Sony pull their fingers out.
Is it possible for SS to transcode .flac to a suitable PS3 codec,
whilst retaining the ability to play pure .flac to the Roku client?
E.g. a client list set up by IP address with different configs applied
to each client.

Thanks in advance for any advice given.

Pete.
