Just two notes: 1. C-3PO isn't disabling anything, it just leave LMS handle Lossy codecs 'as usual', as if it was not there. You could arrange to decode aac to flac via custom-convert.conf (or any other way you are used to) no matter if C-3PO is installed or not. I personally don't think is a valuable practice to upsample or decode lossy formats, that's why is not in C-3PO, but this is up to you. Anyway, adding support to other codecs in C-3PO it's feasible, if there is a real needs I could think about it. 2. C-3PO could upsample and encode to flac (this is what is going to happen: decode to pcm, upsample, encode pcm to flac) and in that case LMS is also producing correct strm messages. Any player capable to play flac at that output sample rate and bit depth could play that stream, included 'normal' versions of squeezelite. Was the 'normal' way we used to upsample server side before squeezelite-R2. I personally think is quite a waste of power (you then have your client decode a much bigger stream to pcm, in order to play it), but is still there. ____________________________________________________________ SB+, Klimo Merlino + Kent Gold, Monitor Audio Studio 20 Gold SE+, Klimo reference and DIS Interconnect. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ marcoc1712's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34842 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105309 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
