Michael, With multiple streams the risk of buffering increase as each encoder is competing for resources. If the WMP stream is a higher bandwidth stream, that might explain why it is buffering. When you determine if you have enough UPSTREAM bandwidth be sure an allow at least 25% overhead on each stream. i.e. 64k + 96k + 128k = 288k * 1.25 = 360k. You also need to calculate how much upstream bandwidth other applications are using on the same computer and all other nodes on the same network.
Run some tests that measure upstream bandwidth. If you are running Shoutcast, check the logs for disconnects. If you're sure your end is clear, then check with some of the other Christiannetcast broadcasters to see what experience they are having. Christiannetcast may be over extending their network and/or not keep with up with resource demands.

Live365, Loudcity and now Chrisitannetcast.com. The first tow are MP3 streams and the last is a WMA stream. I can listen to the first two all day long and not hear a blip, burp or delay. The last one I am constantly having buffering delays. Is that a problem on my end or theirs?
