I have a similar set-up, and still have pulseaudio installed. To stream
sound from websites in real time, and anything else playing on my
Xubuntu 12.04 laptop, I set the default audio to be my internal sound
system (the alsa_output... device) and run VLC as follows:
cvlc pulse://alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.5.analog-stereo.monitor
:sout='#transcode{vcodec=none,acodec=mp3,ab=320,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:http{dst=:8081/laptop.mp3}'
:no-sout-rtp-sap :no-sout-standard-sap
I then set my Squeezebox Touch to listen to
http://192.168.1.n:8081/laptop.mp3 (where n is the last digit of the
laptop's IP address).
This seems to work reliably.
LMS 7.8 on VortexBox Midi, FLACs 16->24 bit, 44.1->192kbps. Touch with
EDO on Ethernet, coax out to a Musical Fidelity M1 CLiC. Wireless
Xubuntu laptop controls server using Chromium. Meridian Explorer USB
DAC to listen to LMS via Squeezelite on Vortexbox & other PCs as
required. Spare Touch in loft!
