Sorry, I should have read a bit further; it sounds like you've done this

already and have a URL that's playable via the command line, though
(for 
whatever reason) not yet by the firmware-based WMA decoder in the 
SB2/SB3. (I'm assuming the reason it works for Softsqueeze is that 
Softsqueeze doesn't advertise itself as being able to decode WMA
streams 
directly, so the server decodes via wmadec [I think] and reencodes into

either a FLAC or an MP3 stream for Softsqueeze to play.)

Yeah.  The stream plays fine when I paste the URL into Window's Media
Player.  Over in the developer forum I posted some debug output that may
be useful.  This post is at

I don't have much experience with how SlimServer handles audio streams so
I'm not sure what to do next.  From the debugging out put it almost looks
as if SlimServer gets the stream, looks at it, decides that the hardware
decoder can play it, and then passes the URL over to the player to play. 
The hardware player then seems to get nothing back.  Am I reading the log
correctly?    

If so, could it be that the URL is only playable once, and since the
server reads from it first before sending it to the player that it can't
be read again?
