Generally earlier spotty showed in LMS streaming as Ogg Vorbis at 320kbits but now every track shows as -705kbps CBR, Ogg Vorbis (Spotify) (Converted to FLAC)-. I assume that even though this looks like it is a higher bitrate, it won't offer any improvement as the original stream is at 320 kbps. Also why is it necessary to do the conversion now anyway?
The library I'm using (librespot) doesn't support Ogg direct output, but would convert everything to PCM. This in turn is losslessly compressed using flac by LMS, to save bandwidth and buffer requirements on the player. As you say: doesn't change a bit about the sound quality, the transcoding is only required due to some limitations.
