In the quest to find something useful pulseaudio can do for me, I'm wondering if it can do more than just volume when it is mixing several audio sources?
I would love to learn I can insert an output filter to use ffmpeg to do on the fly conversion of all my audio to something that can be sent to the SP/DIF optical output on my motherboard.
Then, while it is at it, accept already encoded audio streams from a DVD I'm playing and bypass the ffmpeg layer for them.
Now that would be useful.

AFAIK, this one is planned, but not supported yet...

... and this one is not even planned at this point.
You could of course write your own sound server using the PulseAudio network protocol and encoding your audio on the fly.

You want it to be a CODEC as well as a stream handler? Why not have it be a printer driver, as well? They're different things.
