The custom-convert.conf file uses the same format as the convert.conf
file. The convert.conf file format is documented at the start of the
convert.conf file. The documentation doesn't describes comment format
which AFAIK - true comments which have a "#" in col 1 are ignored.
Lines with tab in col1 follows by "# " are capabilities definition.

The eca conf file as noted in the comments of the plugin has not been
updated for a later version of LMS which added/changed WAV to PCM as
default format. The plugin does not have any special requirements when
used with supplied files. It is user changing default LMS filetypes and
conf file which restricts options.
Just enable appropriate LMS logging (IIRC player.source set to DEBUG)
and you can see how lines are parsed at startup and later expanded when
invoked. Problems usually become readily apparent with the log.
I think you have solved your "problem" by hardwiring hw,0,1 into the
command line whereas original wavin conf file allows flexibility by
passing the device designation from the wavin: URL. It is possible this
is where your "problem" lies.

Since the example does not come from the default or eca conf example I
provided with the plugin - the example you refer seems to be from users
who did not understand fully what they were doing and possibly left a
history of failed attempts. The "B" is only used on the MP3 lines for
bit rate limiting and the "I" is totally incorrect since wavin plugin
never takes input from stdin and "F" is not possible as it is from a
LMS supplied file. The only capability needed is "R" for all lines
except MP3 where "RB" is used.
