If you fix the problems I marked below, then it will work. But where I'm 
more interested in is why doesn't it work for you, while it does for a 
lot of other people. Is there something specific in your setup?

Here is your problem. The output Channel is not created, either due a 
bug in the code. Or a wrong configuration options.

Another hint the decoder is not registered. Bottom line indeed this will 
not work.

Remember the output channel is not created so starting a stream has no 
sense.
