There is a March 14 post of a DLNA profile to transcode FLAC to WAV for Roku Soundbridges but it’s missing the file content.
Does anyone still have this profile?
I’ve made some progress on this but I have not succeeded. Below is what I think should be close.

Plex uses the profile. There are two challenges so far. There is an audio.bitrate limitation of 288 somewhere that I don’t understand and I can’t get transcoding to work even from mp3 to mp3 using:
<TranscodeTargets>
<MusicProfile container="mp3" codec="mp3" />
</TranscodeTargets>
With a low bitrate MP3, less than 288, direct play works.

High bit rate MP3s get transcoded, not sure why. But the transcode fails to play.

FLACs get transcoded and also do not play.

If anyone has any pointers, please let me know. Thanks.
I forgot to mention with:
<TranscodeTargets>
<MusicProfile container="wav" codec="pcm" />
</TranscodeTargets>
FLACs and higher than 288 bitrate MP3s are filtered from being displayed by the device.
