Very newbie question: how do I tell if minimstreamer is runnng?

Unfortunately it appears that neither the dCS Mosaic app nor the Rossini front panel tells you whether the server is sending a FLAC or WAV file. The app says PCM in both cases and the front panel says nothing.

MinimServer can do both tag browsing and folder browsing. Most of its features are oriented towards tag browsing but it can be used to browse and play files without tags.
