Can you say a bit more about how you would use it? There are some different options for how this support could be provided. What device would you be using as the music renderer?

I use Denon DNP720AE as the music renderer. This device supports WMA, MP3, WAV, AAC, FLAC, WMA lossless (Transcode) natively. I'd like to have my music library on my Mac Min in ALAC only as I have quite a number of Apple friendly devices which can receive ALAC music from iTunes or DLNA servers natively. My Denon is the only device for which I have to go FLAC for lossless audio. If I use iSedora as DLNA server on my Mac Mini I am able to navigate through Denon "music server menus" to ALAC files stored on my Mac Mini and play them because iSedora transcodes ALAC to WMA lossless (or LPCM) on the fly.

I prefer MinimServer from iSedora thus implementing ALAC to WAV transcoding feature into MinimServer (like FLAC to WAV already implemented) would be awesome (and supporting hi-res files 24/96 would be also great for transcoting :-)
