I'm not either, but it would be possible to add this.

Quote:What about looking at the user-agent from the Minim side of things? Thinking off the top of my head... a user could stream with their devices, a priori, and you capture observed user agent strings. Then, assuming they differ between, say, Android and appliances (like AVRs), you present a transcoding choice for a given user-agent (and a default for everything else).

This doesn't work because the stream details (including audio info such as 24-bit WAV) need to be sent to the control point when the control point issues a Browse request. At this point, the server doesn't know which renderer the control point will use to play the stream.
