DSD-over-PCM to Pcm transcoding?
Is it possible to configure UMS to automatically transcode both native DSD and (especially) DSD-over-PCM files (to add insult to injury, flac-compressed) to PCM? I have read the docs and did some googling, but no one seemed to have solved this before (actually not sure if anyone noticed this use case).

This depends on if FFmpeg can do it or not. From UMS' POV it's quite simple, the renderer either supports the media file or not. If it doesn't, it will ask FFmpeg (only FFmpeg is in use for audio files) to transcode it into the configured output format for that renderer. The output formats can be either MP3, WAV or LPCM.
So, as long as the renderer is configured to transcode audio to LPCM and is configured to not support DSD (everything is not supported by default, so it means "not configured to support it"), the rest will depend on FFmpeg.
