[Voyage-linux] Is it possible to play my desktop audio via pulseaudio to MPD by streaming

I'm easily playing various internet radio stations over Gnome Music 
Player Client to the Voyage MPD 0.8.5 on my Alix.

But I was thinking, if I could get pulseaudio on my desktop (Fedora 17) 
to stream the audio on my desktop as an
audio stream, I could add that as a local station in GMPC.

Think of it as showing in GMPC as a local internet radio station:   
http://desktop.localdomain:80

I think if that works, I could select that as a sink in my desktop 
pulseaudio config, then play whatever it is and use GMPC to play it as 
an internet radio stream (the only thing unusual would be it's local and 
not on the internet).

That would allow any sound source like Firefox playing hulu or youtube 
video over to my alix and out the DAC. It's kind of round-about
way to play the audio but it's a way to get the audio out over my really 
good MPD/DAC speakers instead of my cheap desktop speakers.

Is pulseaudio capable of that?
