Can Shoutcast Handle Stereo AND Mono Streams Simultaneously?

That is exactly the configuration I have now, but I'm only getting audio in the LEFT channel when playing files from WinAMP into Shoutcast. The same issue with using the soundcard input as well.

I recently converted from a 24kbps and 56kbps mono feeds to changing the 24kbps feed to a 112kbps STEREO feed. I made the appropriate changes to the WinAMP plugin encoder. Client machines running WinAMP show that it is indeed STEREO on WinAMP, but the right channel is dead silent (except for when the intro112.mp3 file is playing when they first access the stream. As soon as it resumes broadcasting the playlist, the right channel goes dead.

I'm stumped. If as you say the system can handle both with two instances of DNAS running, then what could be causing stereo MP3 files to mute the right channel?
