can be used with more than one streamer at the same time;
the record function saves the decoded format.

I think this will be too much work to justify for one stream that can already be played using PCM transcoding.

You should be able to do this by setting a stream type of 'aac' for the BBC streams in their playlist entries. This will exclude these streams from '*' transcoding.

Is there a way of including the stream type in the minimstreamer-based URL you posted earlier for inclusion on sites such as vtuner? For instance, is something like this valid? I tried it on one of my renderers and it almost seemed to work - there was a longish pause before it gave up and said 'server error' (on the renderer screen).
