All versions have this capability, its in the file formats page in SqueezeCenter (Squeezebox Server). You have to use a browser on a computer to connect to the server (http://<serverURL>:900) That is in the broweser address bar type http:// followed by the server URL followed by :9000. For my system that is http://192.168.1.50:9000 If you are doing this on the computer where the server is running this is http://localhost:9000 Once there you need to go to server settings and find the section for filetypes. I don't remember exactly where that is on 7.3. Poke around until you find it. This will bring up a window which lists a bunch of file types on the left. For each file type you are given a list of stream options. Each stream option will have a box that you can check or uncheck. Find the FLAC file type and make sure the only stream option selected is wav. If you have more than one stream option chosen you have no idea which the server is going to choose so make sure you only have one stream option selected for each file type. If you don't have any stream options checked the server will not send that type of file at all. Then click on the apply button and that should be it. The next song you go to should now be streaming PCM rather than flac. The more recent Squeezebox Server uses a slightly different format, For each filetype you are given several boxes which have pull down menus. You have a choice of: disable, or a stream type. One of the boxes has a stream type of native. This sends the file with no change, one has a stream type of PCM. Make sure all the boxes say disabled except for the one with PCM. That is the same as having WAV selected in the earlier versions. I hope you can figure it out from this. Its not really all that hard once you find the filetype page.
