Unfortunately not, having only upnp players or combo does not change the
issue. To my knowledge, it is not part of upnp standard to have replay
gain or xfade. To get some of these, squeeze2upnp would need to

- decode the incoming audio stream
- apply the replay gain
- optionally re-encode it in flac, mp3
- send it to the upnp player

... lots of CPU !

for xfade without gap, this is even worse as I would need to, on top of
the above, aggregate all I'm receiving from LMS into a single long track
and apply the xfade transform on the fly. But then it would prevent me
from knowing which track is played on the upnp player (remember that
upnp players buffer a lot of the sent data, so the only way to know and
report the time position to LMS is to request this position from the
upnp player itself). Then if all I transmit is a big long track, I would
have to sum / substract the already played track(s) from the reported
time position (which would always increase). This is doable, but this is
a convoluted thing to do.



LMS 7.7.2 - 5 radio, 3 Boom, 4 Duet, 1 Touch, 1 SB2. Sonos 2xPLAY:1,
PLAY:3, PLAY:5, Marantz NR1603, JBL OnBeat, XBMC, Foobar2000, XBoxOne
(sort of)
