Network name in Finder on MacOS is ALL CAPS #48

When browsing the network in MacOS Finder, volumio appears fine, but the name is ALL CAPS. Very unsightly. My other samba network devices appear with proper cased names. The name I see in MacOS is the 'NAME WITH SPACES' and not the 'name-with-spaces' that is the hostname. Additionally, the same volumio has 'netbios name = Name With Spaces set.

Note the output of avahi-browse below. The advert for the shared disk is ALL CAPS, but all others are normal. sudo avahi-browse -a

This can be partly solved by adding 'mdns name = mdns' to smb.conf. This, however, will advertise the hostname instead of the ALL CAPS NetBIOS name.
