So you mean, aside from the fact that Squeezebox does not do 96KHz, why
doesn't it do 96KHz?  :)

1) the audio outputs will not run faster than 48KHz
2) the cpu is not fast enough to decode FLAC at 96KHz
3) we try to play anyway, and drop every other sample to make it seem
like it's working. This WILL sound bad because it is not a proper
decimation algorithm, and since there is not enough CPU to even decode
at 96KHz, there is certainly not enough to decode 96Khz _and_ decimate
to 48KHz.

I regret that we made it pretend to play 96KHz. The rationale was that
it would be better than playing nothing in the case where a Squeezebox
is synched with a Transporter. Unfortunately, it has just resulted in
ongoing (sigh) complaints that it doesn't "work right". 

I don't really want to remove this non-feature because I'm sure whoever
asked for it is happy to have it, but if it continues to cause this
level of customer confusion then it will have to go.
