Don't know if it helps, but you're not using the same format as I am  for
our re-encodes.

hmmmm.  I've not used this tag.  You'd either have to use a managed mode or
select quality by bitrate.

you don't seem to have the resample and downmix steps.  I'm not sure that
what you've got there would even work (I don't know).  But using code based
on the examples, here's how I'd do what I *think* you want to do:

                <instance>
                        <hostname>host.domain</hostname>
                        <port>8000</port>
                        <password>P455W0rd</password>
                        <mount>/mountpoint.ogg</mount>

                        <encode>
                                <quality>-1</quality>
                                <samplerate>11025</samplerate>
                                <channels>1</channels>
                        </encode>

            <downmix>1</downmix>

            <resample>
                <in-rate>44100</in-rate>
                <out-rate>11025</out-rate>
            </resample>
                </instance>

Good luck!

Geoff.
