I think the reason is in LMS' logic to always provide the best quality
at the lowest bitrate possible. FLAC provides the same sound quality as
PCM, but uses less bandwidth. Or it's just because Flac comes before PCM
in the alphabetical order. Really, I don't know without checking the
code.
If you look at the Plugin.pm file you'll find the following comment
pretty much towards the top:
Code:
--------------------
# TODO - add init call to disable spt-flc transcoding by default (see
S::W::S::S::FileTypes)
--------------------
I'm aware of the potentially wasted cpu cycles.

I had some very basic Spotify Connect functionality working before I
implemented even the very simplest menu. Alas, librespot has some
serious problems with the way I'm using it in this plugin that it's just
not usable at the moment. Will it eventually come to LMS? I don't know.
But some code indeed is already there.
