[wp-hackers] embed shortcode

[Otto]

The embed shortcode works differently than other shortcodes. It only
gets added to the available shortcodes processing list during the call
to the_content, so you can't use it outside of this context. This is
for security reasons.

So yes, use the wp_get_oembed function instead.
