The issue is that you are trying to stream a WAV stream to player and
this is not supported natively by Squeezebox players.  So SBS tries to
convert to Flac or MP3 but there is no "R" (remote URL) entry for
WAV-MP3 or WAV-FLAC in the convert.conf file.

If you force the player to use MP3 by enabling bit rate limiting  -
then it enable SBS to force a conversion to MP3 and so the file will
play.

All the previous posts about changing the conf file are out of date as
they do not handle the addition in 7.3.x regarding source designations
such as IFR (read convert.conf header to see explanation).

The simplest solution is to use bit rate limiting but you seem to
indicated that some file do not play with this ?

Otherwise you can make a custom-convert.conf file which has the
necessary Wav-Flac and "Wav-MP3" entries with "R" designation with a
minimal plugin probably best using mplayer to handling the input as it
can handle remote URL and files unlike lame.  I'm not sure but this may
affect all WAV -> MP3 transcoding not just these files so perhaps adding
as well a custom-types.conf for audio/x-wav streams might be advisable.
