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

I listen to BBC radio AAC 320k streams and using aac:wav24 on these streams creates true 24-bit samples where the low-order bits contain audio information. This is because aac:wav24 transcoding uses floating-point calculations with more than 24 bits of precision. In contrast, aac:wav transcoding only produces 16-bit samples.

This caught my eye, especially now the BBC streams have changed, and I've not got my head fully round bits (pun intended!). Sourcing a BBC R3 stream that still works, VLC shows the codec is ADTS, the bitrate is consistently above 320kb/s, the sample rate is 48000 Hz and there are 32 bits per sample. This is without any transcoding by MinimStreamer. So would there still be a gain in transcoding to wav?
