Yes. You can actually serve up most files from Apache. If you want
to stream files you may want to also look at Real Audio and
Quicktime. Both have servers that will run on Linux and have RPM
installers if you like. There are many, many MP3 Servers out there.
Try Freshmeat.

Not sure what to recommend. I think I saw some stuff about this on Freshmeat.
I do most of this on a Macintosh.
