This is why they don't do in the "embedded system" aka SB3 anymore . But since 7.3 something uses SOX SB3 supports 24bit 48kHz , I tried my 24/48 files, they do not launch the flac and sox processes in the server. Off topic : the "light" version of the squeezeboxserver would not have sox so the

I think sox actually makes 24/48 of it this 705kbps is a somewhat bogus number, the players reports on converted bitrates is not to be trusted. it's similar to other transcoding, but there this number often are a better guess However the conversion is running perfectly I *think* it is just this i
