It doesn't show up in the menu anymore.  The previous version was working 
fine.  Am I missing some crafty USE flag?

There is a 'shout' useflag.  Do you have it unset?

If you're using vlc 1.1.0 or above, you should have read
http://www.videolan.org/press/2010-1.html which informs about the
situation and why the VLC team had had to removed it.

Thanks Walter, I have it set, but no shoutcast.

From Vincent-Xavier's link I can see that vlc had to remove this functionality 
because AOL (damn them) bitched about it.

Thanks, I can see why now.  The page mentions icecast as an alternative and 
the fact that this is available as an Addon for vlc, but can't find anywhere 
how to add it on ...

I know nothing about vlc or icecast but I did google and find this.

It may help, it may not.  Let's hope.  ;-)

Thanks Dale, very kind of you to look into this for me.  I actually want to 
stream from (listen to internet radio), not stream to a server.

Previous versions of vlc had a Service Discovery option which would tune in to 
shoutcast/icecast servers to list and listen to their streams.  This has now 
been removed.  A really good feature was that you could search for music of 
your liking by genre and different servers would show up to allow you to 
connect and listen.

While diggin, I saw a list of servers and I think they were by genre.  
Just go to google and type in icecast server and see what pops up.  
Also, watch what google suggests as you type to.  It may show a option 
we aren't thinking about.  May be just what you need.

Yes, google shows and plays shoutcast/icecast music via the browser.  It is 
just that I used to do that directly from within vlc.  But now both vlc and 
amarok dropped it due to AOL.  :-(

I was talking about google as a search tool.  I found this on Google:

Genre is on the left but it is a short list.  No idea what you are 
looking for tho.  ;-)
