Just my 2p worth.

andy's thought's that wireless might be the culprit is based on the
info you yourselves have given him.

i.e. In 6.2, the stream went to your slimserver and then on to the SB.
This, you say worked fine. Maybe there was some bit-rate limiting
happening here or, prior to WMA streams being supported, transcoding
using WMADec/Lame.

With 6.5 you have 2 changes, 1 WMA is supported natively and the SB
handles the streaming itself.

So there are 2 possibilities I can think of.

1) The stream exceeds the bandwith of your wireless network. It would
be interesting to get some info about the stream bitrate. 
Prior to 6.5 the transcoding might have covered this up, once your
broadband was up to the task of keeping the stream going.

2)Your default gateway is mis-configured. Perhaps you have your default
gateway set to your Slimserver and not your router, causing extra hops.

Also, are you in a mixed 802.11b/g environment. Do you have some
802.11b devices you use ocassionally.

It's a pity there wasn't a way to drop back to the old behaviour within
a playlist.
i.e a comment in the playlist which forces Slimserver to stream from
the radio station and transcode to the SB as it used to.
