Yes, on multiple clients, direct playback works. The server still transcodes where needed, e.g., the web test for AC3 , which is not working correctly, still triggers a transcode - bypassing that test allows me to direct copy audio.

Swiftfin, MPV Shim, and ATV all direct play now. Whereas before this flag caused all clients to transcode.
