A bit of background would help here I'm sure.

I have 3 Raspberry Pi units. One has a Wolfson audio card on it, and the
other two have HiFiBerry DACs attached to them. I have a high quality
audio source (capable of outputting 24/192/2ch analog audio) which I
want to be able to pipe to the rest of my home, similar to a Sonos
system. I wanted to do this using the RPi with the Wolfson card as a
server which can pull this HQ audio stream in at 24/192/2ch and send it
over the network to my 2 RPi units with the HiFiBerry DACs. The Wolfson
card is capable of 24/192 recording/playback and the HiFiBerry DACs are
capable of 24/192/2ch playback. After researching several solutions
based on my requirements (playback sync, reliable stream, don't care too
much about latency as long as it's within 5 seconds), I decided on using
LMS on my Wolfson Pi with bpa's WaveInput plugin. Now, it appears that
the plugin requires some modification if I want to allow this 24/192/2ch
capability.

As for what I want, I don't care whether the stream is sent as PCM or
FLAC. As long as I get that 24/192/2ch playback at the sources. If I
understand it, the format of the custom-convert.conf file in the
WaveInput plugin needs to be written using a very specific format
(including sections for PCM, mp3, and FLAC). However, if this can be
modified to just send FLAC and I can skip this problem with PCM not
containing format information in the headers, that would be great.

Cheers,

Michael
