I am using instructions from the MinimStreamer page. I have tried *:L16 and *:wav in the transcode property both with the same result.

I am using bubble to control it,

I understand why this would happen with *:L16. MinimStreamer is computing the stream audio information used by the renderer when it reads the playlist, not when the stream starts playing. For an L16 stream, this information includes the stream sample rate and MinimStreamer is using a default value of 44100 Hz instead of the actual value of 48000 Hz for the BBC HLS streams. To fix this, you need to put the correct sample rate in the playlist #EXTINF line, for example:

#EXTINF:-1,[*R3;48000] BBC Radio 3

instead of:

#EXTINF:-1,[*R3] BBC Radio 3

After changing the playlist, you need to do a Rescan from the minim icon.

This problem wouldn't occur with WAV streaming because the sample rate is taken from the WAV header instead of from the playlist stream audio information. I suspect that you were still getting L16 streaming after you changed stream.transcode to *:wav because the stream URL used by the renderer wasn't refreshed after you made this change. To ensure this URL is refreshed after you change transcoding settings, you can stop the stream playing and then do a Restart from the minim icon.

I tried adding 48000 into the #EXTINF INF line it doesn't seem to change anything the Amp is still reporting the input as 44.1KHz. Did you mean to put a : or ; before 48000?
It would appear that the WDTV Live hub can't accept the WAV files as I get no output after I restart MinimStreamer.
