Can Shoutcast Handle Stereo AND Mono Streams Simultaneously?

Very odd. I'm getting only left channel audio on every PC in the office, even the notebook computers running the latest version of WinAMP.

I think I'll try reordering the encoders. I know to avoid Enc #1. But I will try making the stereo stream enc #2 and the mono stream #4, instead of the reverse, which, at present, is the case.

EDIT:
Swapped encoders so that Enc 2 is doing 112K and enc 4 is doing 56K. Rebooted the machine and started up WinAMP and the two DNAS servers.
Change occured, but not what I was looking for. Instead of audio in only the left channel, we now get the SAME audio through both channels (mono on a stereo feed?) and the playback is at HALF speed. Client WinAMP players report the stream as MONO, even though the encoder is set "112K Stereo".
I guess I was mistaken to assume this would be a simple 5-minute configuration change. After a couple hours of tweaking, rebooting, etc., we just get either left channel only, or both channels at half speed in mono. What else could be wrong? This setup works great if the feeds are mono, but stereo seems to be fraught with problems.

EDIT2:
I solved the problem. There was some confusion and cross linking of information between DNAS config files. Must be working too many hours on not enough sleep. I was running in circles for a while wondering why each file has some pieces of the other server's information. Anyway, I finally got everything sorted out. It works!
