As a curiosity, why adding sample rate in the strms ? Normally, flac is
self describing and you find it in the block header (that's what I'm
doing on my client). I feel the mod should rather be making sure that
soft squeeze correctly reads the header. They are variants in how the
rate is coded In flac, but they are not difficult to handle and would
give you the result without mods on the server side.
