flac codec issue

[mariemkort]

Hi !

I try to test snapcast using a flac stream .
i am using the snapcast V26.0
my config is like this

snapserver.conf
[stream]
stream = pipe:///tmp/snapcast/snapfifo?name=local&sampleformat=44100:16:2&codec=flac

I find the issue working when writing the flac file to /tmp/snapfifo using flac -d -c "01IsThisLove.flac" >/tmp/snapfifo

but when writing the flac file to /tmp/snapfifo without using the encoder flac using the command "cat 01IsThisLove.flac >/tmp/snapfifo" , I listen to a noise .

Does snapcast supports flac encoding ?
thanks ,
