I suppose you are transcoding FLAC to PCM via custom-convert.conf but
without upsampling. Try to add SOX upsamplint in the custom-convert.conf
and you will see it does not work anymoree, becouse LMS still send to
the player the stream info with the original sample rate (ie 44100), not
the one resulting from upsampling (ie 358400).

This is a 'feature' of LMS, to me is a bug and  Squeezelite-R2 adress
it.

Supported sample rates are for the player (ie.PLAYER A: 44100, 48000,
88200, 96000, PLAYER B: 44100, 48000).

The 'target' sample rate, defined in general settings rapresent the
'method' applyed runtime to calculate the stream samplerate depending on
source sample rate and player sample rate capabilities.

i.e.

If you choose to "always resample" at "maximum synchronous sample rate"
in general setings and have two players with this set of sample rate
siupported:

PLAYER A: 44100, 48000, 88200, 96000, 
PLAYER B: 44100, 48000

playing a 44100Hz track on A imply the upsampling to 88200 (max multiple
of 44100 supported by player A), 44100 on player B. 

if you change general settings to "max supported" target sample rate, A
will be feed by a 96000 Hz stream, B by 48000 Hz.

Upsampling parameters are from SOX and if you do upsample today, you are
using them, either in custom-convert.conf file or in the squezelite
command line. C-3PO is aimed to better expose them in a single,
convenient place with some little sanity check and description, but if
you don't know what they are for, sure you don't need them.

hmm.. here is where my bad english fails. Sure my intent was not to be
rude at all, my apologies for that, you are welcome with any question
and comment, but in respect to others, I think is better done in a
separate thread than here. 

Hope to see you there soon.
