I know it isn't the typical use case but is there anything similar that (also) supports flac? (or even wma?)

- WiseWeasel 15y agoAre you planning on serving (or streaming with a lot of buffering) FLAC audio on a public site? Why not re-encode and save everyone bandwidth?
- polshaw 15y agoNo, it would be for LAN use with a web-app.
- WiseWeasel 15y agoWouldn't that still potentially affect your LAN's performance? At >1Mbit per stream, it seems they could add up fast. Even on a LAN, I'd want to minimize traffic volumes where possible in most cases. I'm just curious if this is a matter of convenience, wanting to avoid re-encoding, or if the fidelity is actually critical, and these would be playing back on studio monitor speakers for close scrutiny. I guess if I were trying to play FLAC and WMA files from a local server, I would typically mount the remote share and use native client-side software to play them, which is typically a more pleasant user experience than browser-based solutions.
- polshaw 15y agoYes, it is wanting to avoid encoding and the associated delay and/or disk space. If I could re-encode and immediately stream with insignificant latency, with a weak CPU, then that might be a reasonable option.

- psychotik 15y agoAudiogalaxy supports both those formats, and has an API you can use to play those formats as ogg using jPlayer, perhaps? http://www.audiogalaxy.com/misc/developer http://www.audiogalaxy.com/misc/developer
