uh.  No you're not.  Icecast2 doesn't handle WMA, or at least not WMA over 
MMS.  Whether or not there's a spec for WMA over HTTP I don't know, but I 
doubt it.  Of course, the SAM people might be mangling it and allowing you 
to do this or at least try, but my guess is that you're probably streaming 
MP3.

Can't answer this.  If it *is* MP3 you're sending, my recollection is that 
Windows Media player only has partial support for titles, etc.

I assume you've set a stream title in your streaming plugin?
