	Hey guys, I need to host a live stream of music from my Mac's system audio into Second Life so that an audience of 50+ attendees can each hear the stream when they're in the location. What service exists so that I can get my computer to send one single 64K/s stream to a server that will duplicate it for multiple connects? I obviously can't host 50 listeners off my own DSL account. I have NiceCast and set it up to capture system audio, and serve to whatever 2nd step is mentioned. What does Shoutcast do? Is it a stream repeater? Do I need a paid-for service instead?
