some questions:

1.  What is the bitrate of your stream?

2.  How much bandwidth do you have between your source and your streaming 
server?

3.  How many listeners do you have?

4.  How much bandwidth does your streaming server have to service 
listeners?

These should help us narrow down your problem.
