I guess it doesn't build static libs - the .la/.lo stuff is just libtool
crap which does nothing except get in the way and be annoying. libtool
sucks.

You'd have to modify the makefiles to make it build a static library,
so it's probably best not to. I suggest you just rename the shout libs
to something else (libshout2.so, for example). Then just link the example
with -lshout2 instead of -lshout
