Then it will be FLAC unless you have disabled FLAC streaming in
Settings->Advanced-File Types->FLAC".
On the ickStream forum there's advice on how you can see the actual
stream format in the logs.

We'll fix the wrong display as fast as we can but we haven't really
figured out whether it's a problem in the plugin or LMS. What happens is
that the default information (MP3) is being used instead of the actual
one (FLAC), probably a timing issue.

Well, the business model is to license it to hardware vendors which is
one reason why we really limit it to Squeezeboxes and DIY devices for
now. For Squeezebox users it's currently free and for now we plan to
leave it this way. This could change in the future if for some reason we
want to provide content that _we_ have to pay for. An example could be
if for some reason Logitech has to pull the support for internet radio
(which costs money, at least for some services).
