Configure Logitech Media Server To Do Native Playback

Thanks for taking the time to reply so extensively.  Am I correct in my interpretation that LMS FLAC => PCM is equivalent to WAV=>WAV? 

I'm not sure about that myself. The thought to compare the above didn't occur to me at the time to be honest .

 

For MPD its Flac=>flac or wav=>wav, no option to convert flac =>pcm?

As far as I know, MPD has no such option to speak of (Maybe you can configure this in mpd.conf, but I havn't look close enough. There are two FLAC decoders in MPD, something called libavcodec (if not wrong) and libFLAC. Snakeoil's MPD will be using the latter.
 

Bottom line is it all sound great and I should just get on with enjoying the music.

Yup. If you're already on Blind Testing betas make sure to enable CPUSet. That is a great tweak to do. Will do a proper article later when the official version is released.
 

Thanks for making snakeoil OS available, its brilliant!

My pleasure .
