I know you can configure Twonky server-side with a set of capabilities, based on renderer type (e.g. Pioneer AVR, Sony Blu-ray player) and then drive from a control point and it just sort of works (as much as Twonky works at all )

Do these configurable capabilities include custom transcoding settings?

They do. There are device-specific XML files that define a device profile, which includes (among other things) the ability to define what is / isn't supported by the renderer. I've edited these in the past to make minor adjustments to make my old Denon or Sony renderers work better, but it's been awhile since I played around with editing these files.

To see an example how this can be done to transcode video, based on the device (renderer) type, see here: http://twonkyforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10682

Again, you know more about this than I do, so it may be that this approach is going down the wrong alley.
