If you've set "bitrate limiting" in your player settings (under
"Audio"), then SlimServer will use the "mov mp3 * *" line in
slimserver-convert.conf and mplayer decodes the stream to wav, then
hands it off to lame which re-encodes it to an mp3 stream. 

However, if you have bitrate limiting set to "No Limit", mplayer  uses
the "mov wav * *" line and just decodes the file and streams it as a
wav direct to your player (this takes up much more bandwidth, but will
probably work just fine).
