Chris,
Don't know about the UPNP deal but the videos are transcoded into one that is easily viewed on my.pogoplug.com

I turn it off myself because I don't need to watch my vids in a browser.
Here is some info that I put together on how it transcoded my videos.

It does come with FFMPEG and I use it to transcode videos to my TiVo http://www.pogoplugged.com/article/12521/Run-pyTivo-on-your-PogoPlug/
but it is not close to real time. At least transcoding to an MPEG for TiVo.

The internal implementation of ffmpeg in /usr/local/cloudengines/bin assures me that it does flac, and the PS3 knows nothing of flac, so isn't this something of a no-brainer?

My understanding is the ARM processor can't transcode because it doesn't have floating point capability (someone can correct me if that's incorrect). That means those of us with FLAC files are out of luck with the PS3. At this point my plan is to create a second set of music files with MP3 or possible WMA encoding.

Hopefully I'm wrong and there is a way around this.
