This sort of issue is becoming more prevalent i.e. a source that used to
work natively in SN/LMS drops support but it is there for the likes of
Amazon, Roku, Sonos devices etc.

My generic solution is a Pi streamer attached to my Hi-Fi which will
stream ANY source that you can plug in to the Hi-Fi to LMS via a "Tune
in URL".

You can do this with piCorePlayer on said Pi with Squeezelite & LMS
disabled but pcp-streamer switched ON and something akin to a Behringer
UCA202 (a joint ADC & DAC) as the interface between Hi-Fi and Pi.
However pcp-streamer has a couple of downsides that I don't like.

Instead I use the same hardware but with Raspbian, Liquidsoap & Icecast2
installed.

I followed these 2 how to's

https://iotsblog.wordpress.com/2016/02/25/wireless-streaming-vinyl-to-squeezebox/
- which gives you mp3 streaming then improved to FLAC streaming in -
https://iotsblog.wordpress.com/2016/10/22/high-end-wireless-vinyl-streaming/

This gives you exactly what stream-what-you-hear does on Windows but is
more flexible in that a) its an always on headless Pi and b) it will
stream anything that is output by the Hi-Fi so it could be SiriusXm on
Amazon Alexa device or it could be Vinyl played on your turntable. 

Lag is about 3 seconds.

You can also, of course, do the same with the WAVInput plugin if your
source is close enough to your LMS server.

None of these solutions support Metadata but I have hacked
favoutites.opml so at least I have a nice icon
