Holy crap. That's going to be painful for anyone with under about 20 megabit downstream. There are internet plans in Australia that have less quota than that per month.

Can anyone comment on whether the CPU hit from using something like FLAC or Opus would really cause that much of a CPU hit? Especially when you're playing with about 4 threads minimum in an older gaming PC.

(Wouldn't the consoles have hardware accelerated audio too?)
