For those of you who have been beating yourselves up looking for a solution, bite the bullet and shell out the 30 clams for Jamcast server. It works perfectly. It was easy to setup. And they have a free client for the Android. I was up and running in 10 minutes and have been listening to a streaming radio broadcast on my phone without interruption for the last hour. Very minimal, and I emphasize minimal (like a few seconds per hour) of buffering interruptions.

Its cleaner. Actually pleasurable to look at. Also WiFi Speaker is a lot easier to use, and allows you to actually select the PCM audio format you want.

WiFi Speaker even has a graphics equalizer!

Soundwire just feels dated and clunky. Its confusing to use, and sometimes slow...
