No, libbluos_ssc.so cannot do third unfold to 352.8, only to 176.4 kHz (when IDA PRO decompile??)

2L-048 is folded once to 48 kHz 24 bit; 2L-120 has no folds; the others are folded three times from 352.8 to 44.1 kHz 24 bit.

from https://www.2l.no/hires/documentation/2L-MQA_Comparisons.pdf That includes 2L-110_04_stereo.mqa.flac!!! But library above can only unfold 2 times and that is why there is a problem with its sound: https://audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/are-we-heading-for-a-time-when-all-cds-will-be-mqa-coded-no-redbook-available.21015/post-700315

Looking closer and it seems without specifying the rate, mqarender actually "rendered" a 176.4 kHz file not 352.8. ~60M samples instead of ~120M, though it is playable. Didn't have a chance to look at the code, technically supposed to be working right now ;-)
