Satellite links have long transmission times - 0.5 secs and radio has
small buffer which would affect it packet window size. Which means it
could take 1 sec between radio requesting a packet to top up the
internal buffer and it actually arriving at the radio. This sort of
delay can be tolerated with file transfer or web browsing but not for
real time stream of audio. 

PC have larger memories and can be more flexible. I think radio has
been setup for terrestrial links which may be compromising the
performance with a satellite link. 

With these compromises and your estimate that the link speed at best
100kbits/sec - I'd be surprised if you could play any radio which has
greater that 32kbps.
