Chained Ogg FLAC works really well as an intermediary/internal streaming format.

In my case - I have an internet radio station available in a few different codec/bitrate combinations. I generate a chained Ogg FLAC stream so I have in-band metadata with lossless audio.

The stream gets piped into a process that will encode the lossy versions, update metadata the correct way per-stream (like there's HLS with timed ID3, there's Icecast with chained Ogg Opus, Icecast with AAC + Shoutcast-style metadata).

Out of curiosity, can you provide a link to your station? I have created a website for listening lossless internet radio stations: https://audiophile.fm

Well, I only use FLAC internally - none of the public streams are FLAC
