afaik pagestream does not support transparency in pictures. the only way to
go is to use a mask. you can create the mask on your own by using the
following approach, which usually works quite well:

- create a b/w version of the logo. the transparens parts should be black
- load that b/w version into bme and convert it to a vector drawing
- use this vector drawing as mask in pagestream for your logo

i often do it that way.

Really? Not here they don't. The alpha-channel becomes all black. I don't
remember if that was on-screen or printing.
