Apologies in advance for the newbie quality of this, my first post. 
I've read what I could find on the forums and wiki, and I'm stumped.

Background:  I'm currently in the process of moving my music to the
Squeezebox system.  Right now, I'm configuring the Squeezebox Server
v7.4.0 (on a Ubuntu box), loading up my music library in FLAC format,
etc. and testing everything using SoftSqueeze and SqueezePlay (i.e.
keeping it simple by avoiding the use of Squeezebox hardware -- I'll add
that into the mix once I have the software side of things working). 
It's all going smoothly, with one exception:  I can't seem to get the
KEXP.org uncompressed stream at

mms://media-wm.cac.washington.edu/KEXP-Uncompressed

to work.  Reading up on the issue in the forums, etc. tells me that
this URL leads to an uncompressed WAV, which is not what Squeezebox
Server is expecting from mms.  A few posts have indicated that
unchecking Windows Media "built-in" in the Server settings, or (as
mentioned in the post above) disabling WMA decoding, should do the
trick.

My question is, how do I do this with the 7.4.x Server?  Accessing it
via its web interface, I navigate to Settings > Advanced > File Types,
and I see options for Windows Media, WMA Lossless, and WMAPro, amongst
others.  What exactly should be the configuration of these various
options?  I've tried numerous combinations of different settings for the
above file types, as well as entering "wma" in the Disabled Audio File
Extensions, without any luck; all such attempts lead to the player
saying either "Unable to play file type", or "Unable to parse ASF
audio".

Any ideas?  I'm happy to do more research, if only I could figure out
what I should be reading...
