I was having problems with this as well, streaming to Icecast 2.0! The problem 
turns out to be in the Perl module-- the AI constants do not seem to be 
automatically imported. I solved the problem by fully qualifying the constants 
as follows:

$conn->set_audio_info(
        Shout::SHOUT_AI_BITRATE() => $kbitrate,
        Shout::SHOUT_AI_SAMPLERATE() => $samplerate
);

This may well solve your problem for Shoutcast as well.
