Further more is the podcasting application written to accurately determine which set of files are supported by each device or is this generic? It certainly wouldn't make sense for it to be generic but rather calling a low level api to determine which formats the device supports and making a determination from there.

For instance the podcasting application seems to make a very quick determination from the file as to whether it's supported by the device? Does anybody know how this is performed? Does it examime the header of the file itself or only the filename ie. extension?

whenever I try to d/l Jason O'Grady's Powerpage podcast I'm told that it's content cannot be played on the device. this is also the case for ABC's This Week podcast too.
 
yes me too.

This is a little obvious but how exactly does the podcasting application determine what the device supports or not? I suspect it isn't querying the device but rather in general the application is written with hardcoded rules for each known device. A little disappointing. The OS layer should say what each device supports and that should be used by the podcasting application.
