I doubt people in this list are the lmgtfu type!

I use Icecast on FBSD and it works great.

For the client though we use Ubuntu with idjc and Jack.

Probably Jack works well on FBSD
(http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/audio/jack_mixer/) and
you could run everything on a single node, but from my experience with
Jack on Linux, it probably ain't gonna be easy.

Nevertheless, the _usual_ way is having your *cast daemon on a server
with ample bandwidth and the client(s) is separate node.

For us, the Icecast FBSD server + idjc/Jack on Linux is a great
combination but YMMV.
