Icecast: http://www.icecast.org/ is a streaming
media server
You can broadcast a stream to the icecast server and the
subscribers can listen to your broadcast.
Shoutcast: http://www.shoutcast.com/download/ is
the same.
It seems like icecast is for sending audio to MY audio server? It seems that shoutcast is sending a stream to a shoutcast server, then to free subscribers? This is going to be a paid subscription service, so I need this secured.

But will this still use something like Red5 as the audio server?

Hopefully I can somehow stream on-air shows, or concerts on location to the site. I also want to eventually hook up video from the on-site concert feeds.To stream Audio you could use something like icecast or shoutcast (very easy). If I'm correct Flash can connect to a audio stream.
So, will I store media as flat files on my server or in my DB?IMO you should go for flat files, a DB isn't created as a filesystem and therefore will be much overhead.

There are also intelligent things that can be done to serve the correct content based on the bandwidth. But a media server is not the right solution for every problem. Progressive download (what you call downloading from your server) is totally appropriate for lots of applications. It really just depends on exactly what you need to do. But if you arent missing any features its likely you dont need it.
