We are using this rule for SqueezeSlave (it was posted in another forum
post)

mp3 flc squeezeslave *
# FRT:{START=-ss %s}U:{DURATION=-endpos %w}
[mplayer.sh] -really-quiet -vc null -vo null $START$ $DURATION$
-cache 128 -af volume=0,resample=44100:0:1,channels=2 -ao
pcm:file=/dev/fd/3 $FILE$ | [flac] -cs --totally-silent
--compression-level-0 -


This is required because SqueezeSlave only supports 44.1K bitrates.
There are many types of streams that are only available as mp3 so there
is no other option but to resample them. The problem it SqueezeCenter
tries to use this when you play mp3 files as well.

It would be better if there was a way to tell the difference between an
mp3 stream and an mp3 file. But I can't find one.
