I'm not sure if I made the subtly of the issue clear.  The problem
relates to two very specific limited use cases - Cue/Flac & Tidal/Flac.

The flac command does not support the "--skip" option if input is from
stdin.

With flac/cue files, if no resampling is required, LMS will process flac
file and skip to right point and direct stream to player
With flac/cue file, transcoding with flac & sox will be used if
resampling is required. I think the "--skip" option will appear if not
playing from 0.  The flac  command with "--skip" will fail if input is
from stdin.

Creating a tdlflc would solve the current issue (i.e. IFT for Tidal and
FT for cue/flac), 

The Tidal problem affects a few high compression Tidal track causing
stuttering on ip3k players.

I believe Tidal can supply 96kHz tracks (albeit with MQA).  
If LMS were to play these track to a SB3 - resampling would be required.

If a user were then to ffwd within the track I think the same issues
with flac/cue would occur.
Is this too specific a user case to worry about ?
