Case 1) if you have a control point that can serve native flac, then
Whitebear sets things up between SBS and the control point so that SBS
gets the track direct from the control point i.e. Whitebear plays no
role in actually moving the data.

Case 2) if you have a control point that can only serve pcm, then
Whitebear sets things up so that Whitebear becomes a transcoding proxy
between SBS and the control point, whereby Whitebear gets the track
from the control point in pcm format, and serves it to SBS as flac. The
reason for this double proxy transcoding approach is that pcm is the
"must support" format of UPnP, but SBS does not support pcm (at least
not for remote streams). WMP can only serve lossless streams in pcm so
case 2) is _always_ used when WMP does Play To a SBS player (by
Whitebear).

And the reason why case 2) won't work anymore with SBS v7.7 is that the
developers messed up something concerning x-audiocast-bitrate headers.
Grrr! I am developing, with the help of )p(, an update of Whitebear to
work around this v7.7 issue. However in the meantime downgrading to 7.6
should see you right, until my update is released.

Try out Whitebear. The middleware that joins the two worlds of:
1. UPnP/DLNA media clients and media players, and,
2. Squeezebox Server and Squeeze Players
