It's definitely an option, yep, but it's a trade-off -- that means
hosting twice as many files as you'd need otherwise, using twice as much

to host -- and to re-encode in to a new format -- it's easier said than
done.
Yeah that's what I was thinking.
By the way, have you guys heard about the official.fm js implementations
of flac, mp3, aac and alac, http://labs.official.fm/codecs/ ? That looks
promising in principle, as a way to overcome the lack of browser codec
support. I tried it briefly though and their demos didn't work smoothly
at all, admittedly on a rather slow computer.
