a) "-acodec libmp3lame -f mp2"
   I think MP3 audio in an MP2 container (which is a "raw" MP2 audio
   container) shouldn't work, even though ffmpeg happily muxes it.
b) "-f mp3"
   You are streaming raw MP3. This may or may not be fine for your
   Barix box. According to Barix documentation[1], this should work.
   Said documentation seems to show how to configure CBR 192 kbit/s,
   but says the device can handle "all frequencies/bitrates".
   Perhaps you should just try "-c:a libmp3lame -b:a 192k -f mp3 [...]".
   You could also try RTP.

Is it? Then why do you spread it all around the internet?
