I've added a dev version 1.2.0.1 which is a bit more aggressive wrt to 'raw' PCM utilisation. Basically, when using 'pcm' transcoding and receiving a compressed format, it will try to use 'raw' even if the sample size is kept to source and sample rate kept to source ot "No higher" is set. It does that by asking LMS the *original* source file's sample rate & size and trying to see if the player would accept these (if the no higher option is ticked, it will try that for the maximum rate, not the source file's one). If the player accept these, it's a go. Now, the actual rate and size are only known when the audio data is received, so it will tell the UPnP player, in the initial "play" request that it will receive pcm, but details are still unknown, which seems to be accepted by all my players so far. Then, when starting to send the actual data, it tell in the HTTP header the real rate and size. The issue is if you do transcode in LMS to a *higher* sample size & rate (C3PO for example) than the file's originals and these rate/size are not accepted by the player, playback will fail at the late stage. Seems to me it's an acceptable trade-off but now I need to know if UPnP devices widely accept this "pcm will be sent but unkown details at this time" play request. As a reminder, if sample rate and size are set to fixed values, none of these potential problems will happen. LMS 7.7, 7.8 and 7.9 - 5xRadio, 3xBoom, 4xDuet, 1xTouch, 1 SB2.
