Cannot stream above 128kbps

I recently started using winamp with subsonic and I've noticed the bitrate is always 128kbps. Why is this and does anyone know how to fix? I have 15MB up and all my music is FLAC. I want to make sure I'm streaming in 320kbps!
Thanks in advance
Mike

Hi guitargurus:
The problem most likely has to do with Lame encoding. In my setup it always generates a stream with a bitrate of 128 kbps unless the file doesn't need encoding to begin with (read: mp3). I have tried to track down an all encompassing solution for this because I have a number of files in ogg and m4a that suffer because of this... Sorry to say that the only thing I have found is to set the transcoding options to the bitrate manually each time you want to play a song. Sorry I can't help more, but this issue is a little stuck right now.
Cheers!

Ah, that makes sense, and sucks. I ended up buying an external hard drive to keep all my flac files at home.
I would have much rather donated that money to sindre!!!!!
128kb mp3 is fine for a car (running of the android app), but when you have an EMU-1616M with some good full range studio monitors, it's unbearable.
I would love to figure this one out. I really miss using subsonic.

You only have to change the step2 in transcoding as follows
lame -b %b320 - -
