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.
