Hi Stephen, I understand, I just think the bandwidth will be killer. But regardless, we did have arbitrary encoding profiles on the roadmap, though it is now delayed so I'm not sure when it will be coming (we will be reevluating). This would let you do aac, mp3, flac, etc.; whatever gstreamer can do (which is a fair bit) and perhaps more.
