Subsonic Plugin - player hang when format changes mp3 -> flac or flac -> mp3

That's looking pretty promising! And quite snappy, too.

As I mentioned in my first posting I would use a file extension defining
the content type, plus even the bitrate as part of the "filename". I
don't remember the details, but I remember that I failed to have generic
URLs for TIDAL's FLAC/MP3 streams. Eventually went back to using the
file extension, as somewhere deep in the code LMS makes assumptions
about what the file might be based on this.

I know that this means you define the sound quality when you browse the
collection. But IMHO this shouldn't be a problem, as users hardly will
change quality all the time.

So... make it something like 123456-128.mp3 or abcdef.flac. Then use
these chunks of information rather then the prefs to build the actual
URL in the protocol handler.
