Παραθέτω μερικές πιθανές λύσεις, για όσους αντιμετωπίζουν προβλήματα με διακοπές (skipping) που βρήκα με ένα απλό googling. Όσοι αντιμετωπίζετε διακοπές, να διαβάσετε και να ψάξετε τις παρακάτω λύσεις που προτείνονται. Διαβάστε προσεκτικά, όχι μόνο τις παραθέσεις που έχω κάνει, αλλά και ολόκληρους τους διαλόγους και τα κείμενα. Δυστυχώς οι παραγωγοί πρέπει να γινόμαστε και λίγο τεχνικοί Η/Υ και δικτύων μερικές φορές :)
Skipping and rebuffering means you can't transmit fast enough. You will not notice this on your end. If it skips, check for any other outgoing internet traffic, such as file sharing programs or webcam software. The stream requires about 100 kbit/s reliable outgoing (upstream) speed.

ShoutCast skipping can often occur under two conditions:
1. Your computer is maxing out its resources and the encoder can not keep up with the music. Quit all unnecessary programs. The only other solution is to increase the amount of RAM or the CPU power of your computer.
2. There is another WinAmp plug-in conflicting with the DSP. This can often happen with the NullSoft Crossfader plug-in. Try disabling all plug-ins except for the DSP.

Take a look at the Windows Task Manager (TASKMAN) -- {rt-click} the taskbar and select it.
Find WinAMP in the processes tab -- {rt-click} it as well -- hover the mouse over "Set Proirity" and examine what it says -- if the proirity is not high you can change it here (however it will change back), but you also must go to WinAMP [Options / Preferences... / Options] and set the "Process Priority Class" to High (although the dialog says it is not recommended).
The problem is that when your system is even a little busy, even if only temporarily, WinAMP shares time with all the other user apps that are running -- the more bitrates the single WinAMP has to produce the more likely it will need this setting on HIGH. It never hurts to put this on HIGH, but look out if you want to try RealTime.
You have to make the setting in WinAMP to make it "stick" -- otherwise the priority setting will revert to normal upon the next track change (or eventually).

I was surprised to see that the problem in my case was not the encoding nor the Shoutcast server. It was the MPEG decoding that took most of my CPU resources. Since in most cases people play the songs in Winamp, the Shoutcast plugin resamples them from their original bitrate into the one that you specify for broadcasting, plus you get to listen the original song (which would be a good thing to avoid on slower machines but it's not possible).
There was no skipping and buffering when I used the soundcard microphone input so I modified the Nullsoft MPEG Audio Decoder, decreasing the decoding quality and making it easier on the processor. Now I'm playing with Shoutcast on my 200Mhz Pentium 1 with 64kbit internet connection.
