I know it isn't the typical use case but is there anything similar that (also) supports flac? (or even wma?)
Are you planning on serving (or streaming with a lot of buffering) FLAC audio on a public site? Why not re-encode and save everyone bandwidth?

No, it would be for LAN use with a web-app.
I'm just curious if this is a matter of convenience, wanting to avoid re-encoding, or if the fidelity is actually critical, and these would be playing back on studio monitor speakers for close scrutiny.
I guess if I were trying to play FLAC and WMA files from a local server, I would typically mount the remote share and use native client-side software to play them, which is typically a more pleasant user experience than browser-based solutions.

PS Little known fact - pandora.com uses jPlayer or at least it used to when I last used a VPN to check it :)

Wouldn't that still potentially affect your LAN's performance? At >1Mbit per stream, it seems they could add up fast. Even on a LAN, I'd want to minimize traffic volumes where possible in most cases.
