I have tried some different settings to get tracks with very large
comment tags (the text from a CD booklet) to play on my M1 CLiC.  Most
HTTP modes fail immediately.  Of those that work a bit:

- chunked (my normal setting) - works well except on track with large
comment tags which usually don't play
- full buffering - seems to work with all tracks, albeit with an initial
delay (expected), except very large ones (eg 25 minutes) where the
renderer seems to time out waiting for the track to start
- fixed large size - initially works with all tracks, but before the end
of each track it skips to the next one and sometimes gets an error on
the renderer

I also tried setting the streaming timeout to -1, no flac header,  fixed
flac header.  None helped.

So I changed back to streaming pcm as priority (ie codecs pcm, flc, mp3)
and that works for all tracks.  I previously stopped using pcm due to
occasional breaks in sound on high resolution (24/192) tracks.  It
played one such album well last night, so I'll leave it at that setting
for now.  I have recently updated the operating system on my server, and
found ways to increase the priority of LMS/sq2u - this may have helped
stop the breaks in sound.

I have wondered if there is a way to get the flac program to remove
comments (in custom-convert.conf) but haven't found a parameter for that
yet.  sox may be able to do it, but I haven't investigated that yet.
