Is LPCM fallback desirable?

Post by atamariya »

FFmpegAudio falls back on LPCM encoding for audio. Since LPCM doesn't have any header and any streaming player needs the header to playback properly, I'm curious in what scenario does this fallback help?

Yes, as it's certainly the most widely supported format, and was the only one for long supported by DLNA standard.
