Yes! That was it -- I moved the encode section into the instance and 
tweaked the bitrates a bit per documentation, working like a champ now.
                     <encode>
                             <quality>3</quality>
                             <channels>2</channels>
                             <nominal-bitrate>65536</nominal-bitrate>
                             <maximum-bitrate>131072</maximum-bitrate>
                             <minimum-bitrate>-1</minimum-bitrate>
                             <managed>0</managed>
                             <samplerate>44100</samplerate>
                     </encode>
