We've discussed the Cesky Rozhlas D-Dur lossless internet radio stream in several previous threads.
It's OggFLAC and the URL is:

http://radio.cesnet.cz:8000/cro-d-dur.flac

The stream delivers approx. 800 kB/s at 48 kHz.

I can listen via Foobar or VLC, but I would very much like to stream directly to my Squeezebox Touch using MySqueezebox and my wireless router.

My SBT has the latest EDO applet and is running firmware 7.7.2 r9663.
I believe I'm correct in stating that this firmware version does not support OggFLAC at this bitrate.
Perhaps 7.8 will?

However, I'm aware of this:

and this:

Are there any members who are able to listen to the lossless stream (not the 200 kB/s Ogg alternative) on their SBT from their router and MySqueezebox, without buffering glitches?

If so, and you have a Windows platform, would you share the patch and talk me through the process?
I have a laptop running Windows 7 and I have limited experience of using WinSCP to open terminal sessions.
Thank you!
