Description

Hi,
I would like to use tvheadend to stream radio stations coming from DVB-C to my radio devices.
I already set up this scenario with tvh successfully using the AAC codec.

I wonder whether it would be better to have FLAC codec available. After all the incoming format mpeg2 is already a lossy codec, and transcoding to aac is again lossy. So in order to keep the max quality a lossless codec would do probably better.
(I ripped all my CDs to flac format and stream them quite well from my NAS.)

I do not know at all whether this makes sense or if transcoding to flac is to much load for the cpu, or the quality is not really better at all.

I just would like to here your opinions or whether this could be a feature request for one of the next versions.
