I'll officially add my voice to this thread. Another unhappy XMRadio
Plugin used thrust into the pits of despair of using the official
Sirius pluging. The "not so Sirius" plugin doesn't seem to work for my
logon information, so I'm stuck trying to use the official one.

I too have the "you are not authorized" error within seconds or
minutes, when trying to stream a Sirius to channel... BUT... Only on
one of my devices!

COMMON:
1. SqueezeboxServer 7.6-beta for Debian running on my HTPC server
2. Fast/reliable connection to the internet
3. America XM Radio Online account, paying for the premium download
quality

WORKS FINE:
1. My old Squeezebox 2 from 2002, in the den
2. Wired LAN connection
3. Device does NOT support WMA natively...

NOT AUTHORIZED ERROR:
1. Squeezebox Radio 
2. Wireless G connection at 85% signal and reliable
3. Device DOES support WMA natively

I have a MySB account but... I'm not really sure how it's used. SBS is
configured to use it, it has the Sirius app installed with my logon
credentials, etc. Other than that I have no idea how or why MySB might
fit into the equation.

My *suspicion* is that the NOT AUTHORIZED error is related to streaming
the WMA directly to the device, perhaps with buffering/retry issues.
This is purely based on the fact that where the Sirius streaming does
work, there's a WMA-to-PCM conversion taking place at the server.

That being said, and SBS experts for Linux know that convert.conf
settings I could make to FORCE my Squeezebox Radio connection to always
reencode/stream WMA as PCM for that device, even if it supports WMA
natively? Just want to test...
