Installing Encoder 9 was the first step.
IIRC you need to use the WMCmd.vbs script that is in the "C:\Program Files\Windows Media Components\Encoder" folder.
This post has instructions for foobar to create WMA PRO files; the command just needs a little amending to create lossless (use -a_codec WMA9LSL for lossless) in EAC - same principal though.
Here's the help from WMCmd.bat:
Microsoft ® Windows Script Host Version 5.6

Encode from files or devices to Windows Media files or streams. Supported
source file formats are .wmv, .wma, .asf, .avi., .wav. .mpg, .mp3, .bmp,
and .jpg.
Usage for I/O and statistics.
[-wme] <Windows Media Encoder session file>
Loads an existing Windows Media Encoder session file.
[-input] <file or directory name>
The file or directory to be encoded.
Specify a file or directory name. If you specify a directory, supported
files in the directory will be encoded to the output directory, using
the same encoding settings.
Enclose file and directory names that have spaces in quotations.
For example: -input "c:\my sample.wmv"
[-adevice] <audio device number>
The audio capture device to encode from.
Use -devices to list all available capture devices.
When encoding from devices, you must specify a duration using -duration.
[-vdevice] <video device number>
The video capture device to encode from.
Use -devices to list all available capture devices.
When capturing from devices, you must specify a duration using -duration.
[-output] <file or directory name>
The name of the output file or directory.
If the input is a file, -output corresponds to a file name. If the input
is a directory, -output corresponds to a directory name.
The output directory will be created if it doesn't already exist.
An extension is automatically appended to output files.
(.wma for audio-only Windows Media files, and .wmv for video-only or
audio and video Windows Media files.)
[-outputstring] <string>
The string to be attached to every output file name for directory mode.
[-broadcast] <port>
Broadcasts via HTTP on the port specified. The default port is 8080.
[-time] <start time> <end time>
Specify the time segment (in msec) to be encoded. Use 'end' for
<end time> if you want to encode to the end of the file.
[-silent]
Prevents statistics from being displayed after encoding is finished.
[-config] <input configuration file>
Inputs arguments from a configuration file. The default extension is .weu.
Parameters in the file can be overridden by later arguments.
[-s_config] <output configuration file>
Creates a configuration file. The file name extension .weu is appended
automatically.
Usage for profiles.
You can override parameters in a profile by appending arguments to a
command.
