Not sure when this started happening, but BubbleUPnP (4.5.0.1) is always trancoding FLAC (or any format) to WAV, locally with FFmpeg on the Pixel 7 phone with Android 16, even when configured not to.
Bug, or a feature?

On Pixel devices, the app forces FFmpeg decoding for most formats as a workaround to these devices have buffering issue with stock codecs used in conjunction with http streaming.
So it is a feature. It does not alter audio quality.
