The bug is well documented. It's real. If you have not noticed it, feel
lucky! It's there in the current release.

No. I'm complaining that the bugs they're fixing are critical ones,

After I posted that last message regarding on the fly transcoding and
volume leveling, I realized perhaps I didn't make myself clear.
I understand that SS will apparently not read WMA Lossless volume
leveling tags.
My hope is that during the transcoding process, the file is analyzed

Apparently WMA and WMA lossless are different animals.
WMA is supported directly by the hardware. I don't know if the volume
tags are honored or not.
WMAL is not supported by the hardware at all and is transcoded as you
know. I am wondering if there could be some way to read

Indeed they are, but the tagging scheme is the same. So if Slimserver
reads tags for one of them it will for both.

That's what people told me before, too. And then it turns out that the
only DirectShow filter for FLAC was some open source thing at version
0.3 that hadn't been updated for two years and didn't actually work, as
such.
Don't go criticising open source around here ;)

You know, I've been beating my head against the wall about this for the

They're definitely WMA

This has been difficult for me to sort out. I think I've been asking

What are your experiences with volume leveling behavior with WMA

Also, If I converted all of my WMA lossless to FLAC, would there be
some quality loss in the process??
