Hi Mike,
We use icecast for streaming the live recordings of the Ubuntu Podcast
from the UK LoCo [1]. The output of the mixer is connected to the input of
the sound card on the computer, which in turn feeds it into the icecast
client which converts it to MP3 and sends it to the icecast server.
You could simply connect a microphone to the input of your sound card and
stream using that as your audio source.
Thanks,
Tony
