Given that MinimServer does all these other conversions, including from acc why would you expect jplaystreamer to do this and not MinimServer? Seems more logical for all transcoding to be done in MinimServer? Why do you see this as a limitation of Jplaystreamer rather than MinimServer?

All the other input formats for MinimServer transcoding are compressed formats. AIFF is an uncompressed format (like WAV). Transcoding in the server incurs overhead and requires special treatment for seeking within the file. For an uncompressed format, it is a better technical approach for the player to handle the format directly. Given that the format is uncompressed, this should not be difficult to do.
