Conversion of flac to wav oer mp3 before streaming?

Hi out there,

I am new to Twonky Media so please don't be angry if this is a faq. I searched in this forum for answers but I couldn't find an answer.
I want to stream flac files from my NAS to my HTPC. If I install TwonkyMedia Server on my NAS and Twonky Media Manager on my HTPC is it possible then to let the flac files automatically convert say to *.wav before they are streamed to the HTPC? Or do I have to wait until TMM will support flac?

Best regards Chrissy

I have this working on my PS3...

It works really well, and is a very good lossless solution. The theory should work for other clients too...
