When I am traveling or at work, I am playing back on an Android device that really only wants 16 CD/CD+ audio (i.e. 16/44.1 or 16/48). My Android devices can play wav24, just fine, but it's a lot more data to send over the Internet to just have the phone truncate the least significant bits on playback (or worse, down-sample the high-res stuff, which is very CPU intensive on the phone).

I can do all of this using MinimStream, alone, I think, but then I need to reconfigure stream.transcode options when I am at home or at work/on the road.

Thanks! I understand the scenario now and I will think about how it could be supported better by a future release of MinimServer and MinimStreamer.
