One possible problem with that solution is that there are fairly large
buffers between you and the original sound source in shoutcast. So
basically, if you change the music playing on the shoutcast server,
it'll take a few seconds to hear the change. Could be very annoying.

It's also why shoutcast simply can't be used as a cable replacement, for
say streaming live audio within a building. You'd be way out of synch,
by 10 seconds to as much as one minute in my experience,
intollerable in many situations.
