? Just get shoutcast and follow the instructions. From example.lst from 
shoutcast/sc_trans_040:

# this is a sample playlist file.
#
...
# the playlist contains one line per song file you wish to stream.  the 
# paths should be absolute.
...
# on linux, you may specify a playlist item of DSP:/dev/soundcard, where 
# soundcard is the name of your audio device.  It's usually /dev/audio. 
# doing so will allow you to broadcast from a line input feed instead 
# of mp3s on disk.

icecast is very similar.
