All my other Squeezeboxen play it through downsampling on the server side and I had to find out that my Via C7 server is only capable of doing one of those at a time.

The synchronization is being done within the device's audio processing.

However, SqueezeCenter can also play formats that are NOT compatible through downsampling or transcoding. It's a feature, not a bug.
