I think I'll have to give up on this one. There are too many issues with a flac continuous stream. Normally, flac is supposed to be streamable because it has paquets delimiters like mp3 and each paquet is self-contained, which makes headers optional. Unfortunately, most players I've tried want headers. Then the ones that can just work with paquets can't accept sampling rate change in the stream (which will happen as this is a continuous stream but with different tracks - again mp3 allows that). Then when playing local files, LMS might not transcode them (flac) and in that case they have a full flac header which confuses even more players that can accept raw paquet (they can't recover flac sync properly). On paper, this should work according to flac specs, but in practice it does not LMS 8.2 on Odroid-C4 - *SqueezeAMP!*, 5xRadio, 5xBoom, 2xDuet, 1xTouch, 1xSB3.
