I have the same issue, and will be working on it

You can do it, but this would effect local hardware players too (as you
point out)...

I'm thinking I could include a bitrate in the software player url,
http://ip:port/playername/128,
including this would cause mp3's (.ogg, .flac
etc are already transcoded of course) to then be transcoded at the selected
bitrate (need to modify the transcoder to allow bitrate overrides too)

Currently you can't transcode a stream, which is what I really want as I
stream my local radio, and I can't say when this will be available as it's
a
tricky one!

BTW haven't done anything on xplmedianet this week, hectic week. This
weekend am going to fix the rio ogg etc issues found and will also make
this
change. MVP is so close to being ready, but looks like it won't be this
weekend
