Hi Marco,

I'm really glad you found that bug.  It's now possible for me to test
individual settings easily and reliably.  Previously I was not sure what
settings were being used, so got very confused.

For the 'Enable transcoding' setting, it would have helped me if the
information had said something like 'Enable transcoding from these
codecs to the output format selected below', and for 'Enable resampling'
something like 'Enable resampling from these codecs' would be clearer.

And to testing, it seems my system (Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU D525 @
1.80GHz, 4 cores) isn't powerful enough to upsample from 16/44100 to
best WAV using squeezelite-R2 and a Meridian Explorer USB DAC which can
play 24/192000.  I get 100% cpu from sox and squeezeboxserver and
crackles and pops.  Upsampling to flac I got squeezelite-R2 to crash.  


For my other UPnP players using squeeeze2upnp, upsampling to flac
doesn't work well for me.  squeeze2upnp has some slightly complex logic
about how to pause and/or reposition tracks and this doesn't seem to
work when C-3PO is in the loop.

To conclude it's great that one can now test in a logical fashion and
try each option for each player to see what effect it has.  But C-3PO is
not for my system as it is now.

Thanks for bearing with my slow understanding and queries.  I do
appreciate it.
