Squeezebox Server/Squeezebox Receiver - Where is the audio file decoding to pcm taking place?

Question in the subject!

I might be wrong but I *think* it's usually in the receiver. I'm basing that purely on when I first started looking at Squeezebox a few years back and they used to list natively supported formats that were decoded by the receiver and non-native formats, that had to be trans-coded to wav before being sent to the receiver.

I think now the majority of formats are natively supported, so it's done in the receiver.

Thank you, that's what I thought. I think I know what everything is doing now. Do you ever get one of those days when you like to know what everything is doing?
