Streaming FLAC "as is" to iPad

[pumafred]

Although I use it mostly as a remote control when listening to music through my WD TV Live, I sometimes also choose to hear my music collection through mi iPad (with headphones).

I have Asset configured with the default "as is" for all streaming, but obviously it recognizes that the iPad will not handle FLAC, and sends it something else, which I presume is mp3.

If so, what quality of mp3 is the default? Could I change this default to a higher bit rate mp3 or even to Apple losless, but ONLY for my iPad? FLACs are fine for my WD TV Live.

If you use PlugPlayer on the ipad it will play the flac.

I do use the PlugPlayer. Does this mean this app is downconverting FLAC or that it is actually capable of playing them?
