Ok, I did a bit more investigating and have a solution: gst-launch-0.10 pulsesrc device=p2.monitor ! audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,depth=16 ! audioconvert ! vorbisenc ! oggmux ! shout2send ip=127.0.0.1 port=8000 password=network mount=stream.ogg I needed to specify the format of content coming out of the pulsesrc. Now everything works fine. I will say that the cpu usage is quite a bit higher with this solution than just having mpd stream straight to the shout server, and there is the annoyance that when the stream corks/pauses gst-launch exits. I'm going to play with this more since I would like this to be an extra zone for playback. Thanks for your help Colin.
