I've just uploaded in the dev repository a version 1.0.0 (finally). This
is a (main) features complete version, finalizing the changes in 0.3.x
releases. Major updates are

- The helper is now capable of decoding audio, apply transformations and
then optionally re-encode it in flac before sending it to the CC device,
or send pcm samples
- Supported codecs are ogg, aac, mp3, flc, aif and pcm
- The main benefits are: re-sample for tracks > 96 kHz, replay gain,
fade in/out/cross and true gapless (in flow mode)
- It has 3 processing modes
- thru: same as previous version, just pass audio data to the CC
- pcm: decode audio, resample it if needed, do replay gain, fading
- flac: same, but re-encode in flac before sending to the CC player
- In pcm or flac, there is an option to be in "flow" mode where the
whole LMS playlist becomes a long single track for the CC players, which
enables true gapless and cross-fading
- It comes at the price of more CPU (10% of a Pi3 when doing mp3 decode,
resampling, flac-re-encoding) at 44.1 kHz / 16 bits
- See user guide for further details

At this point (and I'll cross-post in the UPnP Bridge thread), the
testing is becoming a nightmare for me as there so many options & modes
that I need your help to move that from development to stable, hoping
that the addition of this transcoding capability is something that will
add the finalizing touch that makes it as close a spossible of a real SB
player (synchronization aside)
