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.

Everything appears to work right from the start. gst-launch starts up, the stream appears on my shoutcast server, etc. But when I connect to the stream it contains nothing but silence. And even more odd is that vlc says the stream is mono when the source monitor is definitely stereo. I dug a little deeper with the pulseaudio manager and sure enough monitor source is producing stereo and there is sound going through it (volume monitor) but the outgoing recording stream sets up as mono??? This is the exact line I'm using: gst-launch-0.10 pulsesrc device=zone5.monitor ! audioconvert ! vorbisenc ! oggmux ! shout2send ip=127.0.0.1 port=8000 password=#### mount=stream.ogg Any ideas? </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> Well not really TBH. I don't actually use it myself (I just get my curiosity piqued easily!) I'd try replacing the shout2send part of the pipeline with another "thingy" (I don't know the term!) perhaps filesink? Slap it to a .ogg file and make sure it's OK.... if it's not then I guess it some other part of the pipeline and you can perhaps fiddle with it a bit to try and work out what's going on...
