Now I'm salivating! I believe I've asked for a similar request before!
I seriously think this would be an absolute killer functionality for minim server and minim streamer. As it is today, I'm using both minim and the original synology upnp servers indiscriminately, I am giving the nod to minim server because of it's nicer implementation for tags, but it's not a major advantage. Also, I admire simoncn's efforts and would like to support this development.
However, implementing a server-side convolver functionality is a major game-changer, that may well turn the existing manufacturer trends upside down. (Big words? I don't know).
For those of us who wouldn't consider a computer as a source (plenty of reasons why) and having invested multitude in existing audio equipment a server-side room correction would be a major boon and a feature I'd be willing to pay at least $ 100 for.
Why? Well, I'd have my FLACs untouched (for headphone listening), but on-the-fly transcoded to eliminate deficiencies in room setup (of which there are plenty) without having to invest in proprietary (EXAKT, ANTHEM) or computer-based (Dirac, Amarra, etc) front-ends, which in terms of audio are deficient to other products..
Man oh man, can we not kick-start a project like this?
At present I am unable to put any time into this. Someone else would need to take the lead and implement a prototype using the approach I described in
this post. This approach doesn't require any change to MinimServer or MinimStreamer.
If the results are as exciting as you are expecting and the prototype attracts a good number of users, the next stage could be to create a documented plug-in API in MinimStreamer that could be used by this plug-in and potentially other plug-ins in the future.
