Denon AVR X-1000 and the Pause command

I can stop the WAV playback, I can even time seek backwards and forwards but I cannot pause playback. This seems to affect both MP3's and FLAC/WAV. I contacted Denon and they said (after some deliberation) it was a server problem, strikes me as strange but after some prodding, they indicated that AssetUPnP could pause (sort of ). I checked but then the format was transcoded to LPCM (the official DLNA minimum audio format).
In the end the Denon solution was to use WMP and a FLAC plugin from XIPH.org. and it worked ! so FLAC files can be paused via a network with Denon, however that was a very complicated and messy solution and needless to say none of the Minimserver functionality we all like so much.
Is there any way to adapt Minimserver so that the Denon Pause function can work (sorry for the long post, but this has been going on a while with Denon).

Please can you provide detailed instructions for how to set up the working solution based on WMP and the XIPH.org FLAC plugin. When I have these instructions, I will attempt to set this up and see if I can identify the mysterious DLNA pause flag.

MinimServer doesn't currently support LPCM transcoding. Adding this is on my "to do" list, but I can't give any estimate for when this might happen.
