OK with a little help from the Winamp tech. discussion forum, it appears that wma streams by-pass the Winamp DSP section - the impression I got was that there was nothing that could be done about this.

Excellent work you're doing here - I've run into the same problem with wma etc...

So maybe this is more of an issue with Winamp? - Anyone know of a plugin for MS Windows Media Player (or any other player) equivelent to the Shoutcast DSP output for Winamp? (back to google )

Any chance of posting the VB utility?

From what I've seen of it this is what Windows Media Connect is supposed to be aiming for but you're getting into UPnP territory there and it isn't mature enough yet IMO.

I'll try to do that in a little while - I was going to give it a couple of more tweaks.

In order to get it to work you have to switch the DSP's input to 'Soundcard Input' and loop a jack-jack cable from the speaker out jack to the line-in jack. This is working for me now with asx/mss/wma streams but I'm getting an 'echo' so I need to adjust buffer settings I think.

Been a while since I fiddled with Shoutcast, but I thought at the time I saw an option for "Soundcard Output" (as opposed to Soundcard LineIn)... ie, it takes whatever is heading to your output and casts it. Might save you a loopback cable anyhow..

Still doesnt solve the problem of tieing up the pc audio tho..

I seem to remember that too - the last time I tried it was probably last autumn with my MP101. The current version only seems to have Souncard Input hence me needing to loopback out/in.

The only way you could do that would be with a second sound card I guess (messy).
