The AAC LC codec won't work in my Shoutcast. It connects but won't stream any
data.

AAC - Advanced Audio Coding
This is the "waveform" perceptual codec, similar to MPEG Layer I, II 
and III but more efficient. It's roughly 30% more efficient (better) 
than the (in)famous MP3 and according to some listening test, 
achieves transparency at 128 kbps.

So, for best audio quality (at this bitrate) I would suggest you 
switch to AAC. Look for AAC LC (low complexity) in the WinAmp.
