I am doing some experiments with an alternative approach for FLAC transcoding. This would require you to have a stream converter (ffmpeg or avconv) installed. From preliminary tests, it looks like this greatly reduces the seeking delay.

I have abandoned the FFmpeg approach because of performance issues with FFmpeg's support for seeking FLAC files. Instead, I have made some changes to the current implementation to significantly improve seek performance when transcoding a FLAC file to WAV.

The greatest improvement is for FLAC files that don't contain a seek table. There should also be a small benefit for FLAC files that do contain a seek table.

These changes are available in MinimStreamer 0.3.18. I'd be interested to hear how well this performs when seeking your transcoded files.
