SB2/SB3 support wma decoding in the player.  Softsqueeze does not.  

So if you play a wma stream using Softsqueeze, then the server decodes
it.  On windows this is via wmadec, on linux you can use mplayer.  I
suspect wmadec supports all streams, mplayer may support less.

If you play a wma stream on SB2/SB3 then the player tries to connect
direct to the stream and decode it.  This gives rise to two possible
problems:
1) the player can't connect to the stream (network setup problem) [If
you can play other wma streams then this is unlikely, but is possibly
the problem if you can't play any streams]
2) the stream includes something the player doesn't like.  In which
case raise a bug including the stream name as it is possible slim can
fix it in the firmware.
