I downmixed those 6-channel test files I have to 2-channel and the WAVs
play back fine on the Transporter.

FLACs with no ReplayGain data play back fine as well.  However when I
tried to add RG, the FLAC encoder wouldn't allow me - it doesn't
support RG with 96 kHz material.  I added RG with foobar and it didn't
work - the files play back fine for a while then suddenly get broken up
and choppy.  It doesn't quite sound like stuttering caused by an empty
buffer and Server & Network Health shows everything's fine.  Besides,
if there's adequate bandwidth for WAV at 4608 kbps, there should be
plenty for FLAC at ~3000 kbps.

I suspect that there's an incompatibility with how foobar does RG for
96 kHz material.  I'll file a bug, but since the FLAC encoder doesn't
support it to begin with, I'm not sure.  I haven't tried adding it
using metaflac.

Next is a comparison to 16 bit, 44.1 kHz material.  I have the
equivalents of both test files.  However the mix is fairly different
for both - there's a lot of extra instrument tracks at higher volumes
in the former 6-channel versions.
