HDCD CDs and transcoding

[vkshankar]

Yes you are right, my bad, HDCD flag is in foo_upnp section log and not in the URL.

On minimserver2/minimstreamer with L16 out without -af hdcd flag, it works but output volume is not attenuated. In fact this is the only setting in which I am able to get anything (redbook CDs) to the renderer and played back.

f2bk L16 stream plays back without the volume attenuation if I delete the HDCD decode plugin in f2bk. In this respect, it behaves the same as the minimserver2/streamer.

In addition to the LSB on every 16bit sample sent to the renderer (LSB of every sample is supposed to hold the HDCD encoding), I am thinking there may be something else in the stream that indicates to the renderer that the incoming L16 stream is HDCD encoded. The renderer's HDCD decode is based on that indication.
