For testing rpi-squeezelite is the best test device as it shoudl have
most native decoders and widest ransge of dsample rates. Also you can
enable /disable features (e.g.natiev decoder, max sample rate, no https)
from command line so all other player limitation can be tested.

Generally MP3 (which has max bit rate of about 320kbs) will be played
direct by player if it is a http stream. Otherwise LMS will just relay
it so no real load..  

The shineenc should work - years ago I think I had it working on an Arm
processor much slower than yours.

Any other format which has to be transcoded into Flac will have a high
bit rate of about 700kbps
You should only use bit rate limiting when player cannot support network
connection with bitrate.  

Why do want bit rate limiting ?  Most modern devices can manage network
connection of 700kbps.
