I am not sure how MinimServers FLAC to WAV transcoding works from a resolution point of view. Is 24/96 FLAC transcoded to 24/96 WAV or is down sampled? I guess in case you are willing to add ALAC to WAV feature into MinimServer it would behave the same way like existing FLAC to WAV transcoding feature.

Yes, the current FLAC to WAV support transcodes 24/96 FLAC to 24/96 WAV. I'd hope to be able to do this for ALAC as well.

Regarding the possible timescale for ALAC transcoding, I won't be able to use the same technical approach for transcoding ALAC as I'm using for FLAC. I'm doing a technology investigation at the moment for an alternative approach. If this is successful, there will be significant work needed to package and deliver the solution. I'm reluctant to give a time estimate at this early stage because the chances of its being accurate are quite small.
