Correct. In fact Whitebear refers the serving of two types of file
directly to SBS, namely: 1) serving artwork images, and 2) serving MP3
streams (my philosophy is why have Whitebear do MP3 streaming when SBS
itself does it just fine). However the consequence is that in both such
cases, the client (player) must deliver the authentication credentials
that you have set up SBS to require.

Ok. There are two things going on here:

1) Whitebear is unable to deliver you track 85651 in an acceptable LPCM
L16 format. Possible reasons could be: a) (less likely) perhaps the
track does not exist anymore in your library (if so then do a rescan),
or 2) (more likely) Whitebear cannot transcode it into 16 bit LPCM
format. What is your original audio format of track 85651? What is its
bit depth? What is its sample rate? Perhaps you can send me the file?
(I did most of my testing so far on 44 kHz 16 bit ALAC encoded
sources...)

2) The above error causes an exception in Whitebear, from which it
unable to recover gracefully...
