I also have an icecast source, currently tied directly to the alsa
stream for the soundcard. I wanted to put PulseAudio between it, for
easier mixing and recording. Unfortunately darkice has no input module
for pulse, only for alsa and others.
After considering the possibility of writing a pulse module for
darkice, I went for a solution using GStreamer. With a command like
this you can replace darkice:

gst-launch pulsesrc ! audioconvert ! vorbisenc ! oggmux ! shout2send
mount=mountpoint.ogg

Hope this is of use to you.
