How do I use multiple filters with the auto_html gem?

I'm using the auto_html Ruby gem for my Rails application to handle embedded links in a content field. I was originally using the standard <%= @object.content_html %> method which works fine. However, this doesn't support the extra filters that may be needed. For example, it handles youtube links and image links, but not Soundcloud links. In order to handle Soundcloud links, I had to change the code to <%= auto_html(@object.content) {soundcloud} %> as mentioned in a SO question Auto_html says block not supplied

However, this only now supports Soundcloud and it doesn't support the other filters (Youtube, images, links, etc). How can I support all of them, including soundcloud? Adding soundcloud to the object's model doesn't work:

auto_html_for :content do
    html_escape
    image
    youtube(:width => 400, :height => 250, :autoplay => false)
    link :target => "_blank", :rel => "nofollow"
    soundcloud
    simple_format
  end

The problem was that I placed soundcloud after the link filter, so the application was rendering the soundcloud link as a normal link. Here's the final model:

auto_html_for :description do
    html_escape
    image
    youtube(:width => 400, :height => 250, :autoplay => false)
    soundcloud
    link :target => "_blank", :rel => "nofollow"
    simple_format
  end
