That's then fed back though the cache and thence on to the user-facing servers. Apparently the general wish of the device makers was for this as a 'lowest common denominator' to maximise the number of 'legacy' devices that could accept the resulting shoutcasts. So aac -> mp3 transcode and the rate change are done in the same process. In essence, AIUI it happens before the user-facing servers but after the aac generation. As I think the French (almost!) say.
