BBC radio streams not working

You state "Note: For a network stream whose original type is unspecified, the choice of output type is made by MinimStreamer (not the control point) when MinimServer opens the stream and discovers its type." So MinimStreamer makes the choice, and not the CP. What am I missing?

When the renderer plays stream #2, the following happens:

If nothing is set as the stream type and stream.transcode is set to '*:wav24/-^'

1) MinimStreamer finds the list of output types for '*'
2) MinimStreamer finds the caret on the untranscoded output type
3) MinimStreamer plays the stream without transcoding

If ';aac' was set as the stream type and stream.transcode is set to 'aac:wav24/-^'

1) MinimStreamer finds the list of output types for 'aac'
2) MinimStreamer finds the caret on the untranscoded output type
3) MinimStreamer plays the stream without transcoding

The sentence that you are quoting describes a different situation that would occur if nothing is set for the stream type and stream.transcode is set to 'aac:wav24/-^' with no setting for '*'. In this case, the following would happen:

1) MinimStreamer opens the stream and finds its type (aac)
2) MinimStreamer finds the list of output types for 'aac'
3) MinimStreamer finds the caret on the untranscoded output type
4) MinimStreamer plays the stream without transcoding

This produces the same result for stream #2. The important difference is that the same steps would also happen for stream #1, which is not desired.
