Is there an answer to this question? I'd like to stream WAVs as well.
Before you post a reply telling me why I
don't need to stream uncompressed audio, read the following list. The reasons below will not dissuade me:
- You don't need WAVs. You can't tell the difference between WAVs and MP3s anyway.
- Change your MP3 bit rate to make it higher.
- WAV streaming will saturate the network.
- WAV data is too large for the Receiver to properly buffer it at the client side.
because:
- I do. I can.
- Re-encode all ~5000 tracks? No freaking way man.
- Nah. CD-quality (44.1kHz stereo) audio is roughly 173KBps. Even a degraded HPNA2 network providing say 500KBps throughput can handle a few streams like this. 100Mbps EtherNet certainly wouldn't suffer.
- Nah. At 173KBps, it would only take 865KB to buffer five seconds of audio. I believe WinAmp's default streaming buffer (for compressed ShoutCast streams) is only two seconds. I can't imagine the Receiver would be unable to come up with a 346KB buffer... I could be wrong.
