Here is the method I take. Note that I said broadcast here but it works for a 
skyep thing as I've done this.

If you want to talk at the same time you can or might be able to use  audio hi 
jack pro but here's how I do this and it works nicely.

to broadcast from the mac with out too much haste if you don't want metadata 
showing, or to do a live remote where you don't need meta data showing you will 
need

sound flower from http://code.google.com/p/soundflower/
vlc or the player of your choice. (I've used iTunes as well, but you need 
another external sound card just in case).
Line in (free) from http://www.rogueamoeba.com/freebies/
Garage band ($14.95) from 
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/garageband/id408980954?mt=12
Nice cast $59 from http://www.rogueamoeba.com/nicecast/
and if you are going to do a podcast using this set up  you will need the 
recording software of your choice. I use amadeus

Steps

1. Install sound flower. I don't recall if you need to restart your system or 
not but follow the prompts.

2. Install line in I'm not going to go through the steps as the user should be 
familiar with installing apps to a mac. 

3. Install nice cast.

4. Launch line in 
A. Choose input as sound flower 2ch and output as your internal sound card or 
an external if you have another one.. I use an mimic usb sound card.
B. check the pass through check box and you will be able to hear your sound. 
This is useful if for some reason like if you use iTunes you want to set the 
output in mac itself to sound flower 2ch. You will then need to switch voice 
over to another sound card (lion and higher). As a side note you can get to the 
sound prefs by hitting option plus f12 or if you have fn. keys toggled on fn. 
option f12.


5. Download garage band from the app store.
  a Start garage band and choose voice for the template
B. go to its prefs and go to output.
C. Set the output to sound flower2ch and the input to the mic of your choice.
D.  delete all tracks in the project and create a new basic track, or use the 
existing one 
E. from the track you want to use go to the track info area and interact.
F. choose stereo 1/2 from the pop up button.
G. if you want the mic on choose on with out feedback. This control will must 
and unmute your mic. when you are done speaking choose off, or none. Refer to 
step f when you want to broadcast
H. save the file you just created. I called mine mic for broadcasting.band. You 
will need to set your output and input every time in the prefs or check to see 
that  they have been retained before every broadcast/podcast.

6.. launch your player of choice (not applicable to iTunes) and set its output 
to sound flower 2ch
7.. start nice cast 
A. set its source as sound flower 3ch. I'm assuming you already created the 
preset for the server you are to broadcast to.
B. with all of this launched hit cmd b to start broadcasting and check to 
archive if you want from nice cast and test the server to see if you are 
connected or have someone tune in and listen to see if you are.
C. I usually start with the mic off, that is with the  monitoring off. in 
garage band, play a track or 2 from my player and then turn the mic on by 
changing the setting in that pop up button to on with no feed back.

and that's it. It seems like a lot to do, but if you are fast fingered you can 
put on a successful show.

Take care.
