It re-encodes. Actually, I think it defaults to marking the sponsor bits ... somehow. Whatever it's doing wasn't enough for my player to notice.
That said, for this stuff, I've only downloaded audio, and of that mostly talking head type stuff, where I let it cut out the segments. Whatever re-encoding is done would have to be pretty bad before I'd care.
