Overall, my upgrade went hitchless and 5.1.4 seems a bit more
responsive. The startup is definitely quicker.

This round, I disabled my slimserver-convert.conf to check out the stock
version. I note that playback of Ogg files with odd sample rates
(anything except 44.1 kHz) is still broken. This is because oggdec
doesn't know how to resample. I usually use sox for my ogg decoding, so
it's not a big deal for me, but the problem has been hanging around for
a while, so I thought I'd mention it.

So sox links to libogg, etc and does resampling?

Correct. Here's my convert.conf entry:

ogg aif squeezebox *
[sox] -t .ogg $FILE$ -t .aiff -r 44100 -

Sox can convert between/among these formats: aiff al au avr cdr cvs dat
vms gsm hcom la lu maud mp3 nul ossdsp prc raw sb sf sl smp sndt sph
8svx sw txw ub ul uw voc vorbis wav wve

It resamples, resizes samples, adjusts volume, reverses channels,
synthesizes channels and rotates your tires. (ok, I made up the part
about the tires)
