It might do. Then again, it might not.

But that code is not being executed when PCM data (as in PCM data
received over the network) is being sent to the DAC.

I have no evidence that this phenomenon has any effect on the output, or
that it even exists at all. In fact, I'm highly skeptical. I am merely
highlighting certain things that could *possibly* cause a difference
between natively-decoded flac and flac files decoded on the server.
