The only downside is that you need 6 analog RCA cables or HDMI in order to get lossless sound to your transciever. You can of course let AC3filter transcode to AC3 for S/PDIF ouput. Then it won't be lossless but will still sound really good.

That's mighty cool! How does that compare to TrueHD or DTS Master HD Audio? Does FLAC compare well with those two codecs? I mean in that case FLAC would really be a great alternative, as many players already support it, even some hardware media streamers, while TrueHD and DTS Master HD Audio support is still very rare both in software and hardware...
