Is there a way to stream what is playing (Audio or Video) on XBMC using VLC?

I am sure that it has been done but my searches have yielded nothing.

I have installed VLC on my XBMC box and I am using the following command to start a RTP stream but all I get is dead air...

cvlc -vvv alsa://default --sout '#transcode{acodec=mp4a,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:rtp{dst=224.1.1.224,port=1234,mux=ts}'

I get no errors so I am assuming that I am tapping into the incorrect audio device... any pointers would be helpful.

Quick update...

Ok... I made some modification to the command and tested the below given command from a Karmic desktop via term and it works like a champ...

cvlc -vvv alsa:// :alsa-adev=/dev/dsp --sout '#transcode{acodec=mp4a,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:rtp{dst=224.1.1.224,port=1234,mux=ts}

but when I issue and test it on my xbmc live (9.11 b2) box I get nothing on the other end.... what gives?
