Another +1 on the local icecast server. I used to do that when we used
darkice as the encoder, but I've since switched to liquidsoap
(savonet.sourceforge.net). Liquidsoap can be configured to work with
jack, but it also can be built with some effects.

Liquidsoap has been rock solid for us. I've been using it since
version 0.3.8, and it's even more better now that it's reached version
1.0. Search the rivendell mailing list archives, or contact me
directly if you want more details.
