So, where does shoutcast "send" the stream? Directly to listeners? Or is it
relayed by a stream host provider? How important is being in the shoutcast
directory to you?

Unless your answers to some of those questions are super important to you,
if it was me, I would likely drop the winamp/shoutcast machine out of the
picture completely.

Put liquidsoap (Fred recommends glasscoder iirc, but I haven't had the
chance to mess with it and get comfortable yet) and icecast directly on the
rivendell machine.

Send audio out of the Rivendell machine to the board. Take audio into the
Riv machine from the board. (Likely multiple outs and ins if it can be done
with the hardware you have and depending on your needs.

The audio that rdairplay plays goes out to the board, gets mixed there with
whatever else is going into the board. The mixed audio comes out of hte
board and goes back into the rivendell machine. The incoming audio goes to
liquidsoap which sends it to icecast (you might be able to run shoutcast on
linux if you must) and then out to a stream host provider (I have used and
been happy with Museter.) The server at the stream host will pull the
stream from the icecast server on the rivendell machine. Your listeners
tune in to your station at the stream host provided server.

If you go with a provider like Museter, you can get an icecast or a
shoutcast server on their end even if you have an icecast server on your
end. That way, the world sees you as having a shoutcast server if that is
important to you so that you can be in the shoutcast directory while
icecast is living on your local box.

-----

Let's say we are not going to drop the winamp / shoutcast machine out of
the mix.

Configure the rivendell machine with the icecast rlm and point it to the
shoutcast server on the winamp / shoutcast machine. You are basically done.
You just need to make sure you are not sending metadata when the rdairplay
channel on the board is muted and other audio is going out but rdairplay is
not stopped.

I do not suggest using icecast in this way.

Just to clear something up for possible future replies. In anything I have
spoken of, winamp is not used at all. Is that correct?
