I've seen several people report problems like this, but I've never 
experienced it.  I run an Internet radio station on a VM.  Our automation 
encodes, adds dynamic compression and does crossfading, as well as 
transcoding to a narrowband stream, and it copes nicely.  Of course, if I 
start up more encoder processes, I run into trouble, but this works for 
me.

to the original poster, maybe post the link to your stream if you're 
comfortable doing that, and we can see if it works for any of us.
