The LMS identifies the file correctly as far as I can see. It reports
Sample Rate, duration and size. Or is there any other parameter to
check?

Of course I could convert the files in advance however I just want to
have them in the same format as I bought.
This conversion would do it:


Code:
--------------------
    sox /tank/media/TEST/What-A-Wonderful-World_DXD352KHz_2chDXD.wav -b 32 -e 
signed /tank/media/TEST/What-A-Wonderful-World_converted32Int.wav

If you say it is not supported, ok than it is like it is and I would
immediately stop my testing. 
On the other hand it worked with C-3PO and also on Dahpile (which
basically uses LMS and squeezelite as far as I see) so I am just looking
for a way to convert this in the same way like C-3PO or Daphile does.

Anyway thanks for all your recommendations and support :-)
