Liquidsoap provides a lot of useful stuff that do not require raw PCM data, such as scheduling, track insensitive switches, request resolving, various encoded outputs etc.. The idea of having a raw source object is indeed tempting to begin implementing encoded streams. We could have operators designed to work with encoded stream, for instance output.icecast.raw, source.queue.raw, decode.raw (of type encoded -> stream) etc.. However, such a change requires adding a new type to the language etc.., which is more in David's skills than mine. Also, we'd have to think about the bigger picture, for instance with regards to adding object-oriented programming, which has also been discussed: a source variable could also have something like a "get_encoded" method, which pulls out encoded data, and "get_pcm" which pulls out PCM data..
