Relevent portion of mpd.conf:
audio_output {
type "shout"
name "My Shout Stream"
host "localhost"
port "8000"
mount "/mpd.ogg"
password "mypasswd"
# quality "5.0"
bitrate "128"
format "44100:16:1"
# user "source" # optional
# description "My Stream Description" # optional
# genre "jazz" # optional
# public "no" # optional
}
I suggest enabling shoutcast support in the package. I believe libshout and libshout-dev need to be installed on the compiling machine. I have tried compiling myself without success (noob).
Many thanks

Hmm. Unfortunately, this is not surprising. See #453746; we don't build
with libvorbis on arm, but rather libvorbisidec ("Tremor", the integer
decoder); e.g. the NSLU2 doesn't have a FPU so regular libvorbis is
unacceptably slow.
libvorbisidec, is, however, just a decoder; Shout needs to encode to
Vorbis as well, and so depends on libvorbis (floating-point). Therefore
if MPD is configured --with-tremor shout output is disabled. It *might*
be possible to hack things up to use Tremor for decoding but still link
against libvorbis for shout outputs, but this would probably be ugly and
you'd still end up with poor performance.
There doesn't seem to be a good answer here; sorry.

Since mpd 0.14, released in late 2008, the shout output plugin can use
any of the available encoders and thus is no longer disabled on armel.
Currently (0.17.4-3) available encoders on armel include flac, lame and
wave.
