Not using "native" playing will result in compromises.

LMS expects every player to be able to play MP3 natively - so disabling
native MP3 may mean going into unknown territory and probably reduced
functionality.

All LMS rules should have a "#" line.  MP3 rules seem to not have them
because MP3 was expected to be always available.

You need to spend time to understand what is happening and not just cut
& paste lines in the vague hope they might work.

Code:
--------------------
    
  # Capabilities
  # I - can transcode from stdin
  # F - can transcode from a named file
  # R - can transcode from a remote URL (URL types unspecified)
  #
  # E - extensions syntax E:{<key>=<value>,<key>=<value>}
  #             NOSTART=I/F/R : no $START$ field when transcoding from I/F/R
  #             NOHEADER=I/F/R : strip out header when transcoding from I/F/R 
(waf/aif only)
  #
  # O - can seek to a byte offset in the source stream (not yet implemented)
  # T - can seek to a start time offset
  # U - can seek to start time offset and finish at end time offset
  #
  # D - can downsample
  # B - can limit bitrate
  
--------------------


For your requirement F,I,R and T are probably main one of interest.

"R" may not be of interest as you should get bitrate change within a
remote stream/services but I don't know internet streams/services you
are using.

For MP3 - all input usually from "I" (i.e. stdin)  so I think current
setting may be OK although not sure without "T" (or "U") whether you'll
be able to skip to a time offset in a file (i.e. maybe no ffwd or rew)

For AAC - current "#" lines in convert.conf for AAC, MP4, MP4x to FLC
should be duplicated in your custom-convert.conf as you are trasncoding
to FLC just like in main 

for Flac files - like MP3  not sure without "T" (or "U") whether you'll
be able to skip to a time offset in a file (i.e. maybe no ffwd or rew)
