In any case, you will need two things for a functional stream:

1. A streaming server. This piece of software will handle sending your audio to 
people who want to listen. You can either run it yourself or opt for a hosted 
solution:
Icecast2 is very versatile, open source, and I believe most of the community 
here uses it and will be able to assist better, but it should be noted that 
Shoutcast also exists as a proprietary alternative.
If you are a non-commercial station or are just exploring streaming, 
http://giss.tv is a free-of-charge streaming service where you can get an 
Icecast2 mount running in minutes via their web interface.

2. A streaming source which ensures that audio from your PC is fed to the 
streaming server. Unfortunately, edcast is discontinued. Look at darkice or 
even Liquidsoap if you are feeling adventurous. Both are primarily command-line 
tools and work with JACK.

Kind regards,
