Here is something that used to work for me:

Try adjusting your vorbis section to match mine where possible. See if the
parameters work for you then, if so, adjust one at a time back to your
desired ones. See where it breaks.
Try setting up a local icecast2 server and streaming to that before trying to
stream to Live365
