BPA, you wont believe this... after all this testing, reinstalling,
upgrading and downgrading of SC, etc..  thinking there is something
wrong with softsqueeze.. 

Any version after SC 7.2.1, if you change the SC setting for
player/audio/mp3 streaming method="proxied streaming" instead of direct
streaming, all radio stations works perfectly again.

I'm not sure what changed in SC to cause this setting required to be
changed; but, there's a very easy solution to make all radio stations
work again.  

I have had to change to proxied streaming in the past; but only under
unusual circumstances such as tunneling softsqueze through SSH.

Sorry for all the trouble.  Glad to know everything still works; and,
more than likely to work for a while; as long as people are still using
SB2 devices.
