That's good to know as it was always something that bugged me a bit. 
My testing was done a couple of years back.

XP SP2.

I did some more testing...

With FLAC set to decode server side, playing a track pops flac.exe up
into the process tree (as expected) and the track in question fails to
work.

I then removed flac.exe from the server/bin subdirectory and tried
again.  This time no flac.exe (of course) in the process tree, but
squeezecenter still attempted (and failed to play) - I assume it falls
back to internal decoding if flac.exe isn't available.

Setting FLAC->NATIVE (eg client-side) once again the track works
correctly.

And as noted, with FLAC->WAV server-side transcoding, which fails with
the SB and Duet, it works perfectly well with SoftSqueeze (firmware 2)

Any debug logs I can turn on which might help?

Cheers,

Mark
