>From the man page, available options in mpd.conf for shout are as follows:
"""
OPTIONAL SHOUT OUTPUT PARAMETERS
encoding <encoding>
This specifies which output encoding to use. Should be either
"ogg" or "mp3", "mp3" is needed for shoutcast streaming. The
default is "ogg".
"""
However, I believe that mpd has renamed "mp3" to "lame" but perhaps has
not yet updated their documentation.
Regardless, it appears that mpd does not require lame libraries as a
dependency, and neither option allows mpd to start:

LAME is not part of Debian, and for this reason, mpd's LAME encoder
plugin is disabled at compile time on Debian.
Lame is not in Debian due to patent issues.
