Kris,
the problem here ist that somebody needs to have the upstream capacity
to stream your stream bandwidth times the number of listeners, and there
are chances that your wi-fi internet access will not provide that. So in
most cases, the deal is to either connect to a server with a
high-bandwidth connection or at least to use an additional server (with
this kind of connection) as a relay.
I had tried that with several of my computers at home and in the office
- for generating the stream, I used an input plugin for winamp (called
line_in.dll) that provides your computers' line input as a source in
Winamp and then used the Oddcast DSP plugin to generate an Ogg/Vorbis
stream. This stream was then distributed with a software that was called
ezstream.
All of these programs came for free, at least for the short time I was
experimenting with them.
I don't know of any a-la-torrent solutions where the clients also serve
streams themselves.

Yes, that sounds like what I want to do alright...streaming MP3 directly
from my laptop. I am using XP. The trick is that I'd like to do it from
my host and not an external web server. It would be sort of like those
internet services who provide peer-to-peer file sharing, rather than
relying on an intermediate server. I suppose I could setup my laptop as
a webserver, if I knew how to do that. Whatever the case, it needs to
work wherever I go and there is WI-FI access.

Kris,
This sounds like a great idea and I wish you the best of luck. It
certainly seems like it should be do-able. The solution I'm imagining
would involve running your audio into the laptop, doing a continuous
conversion into mp3, then streaming that out. Certainly doesn't sound
too difficult, or too taxing on the hardware. Unfortunately, I don't
know of any applications off the top of my head.
What OS are you using? I think I could cook something up on my linux
box using available tools and a simple script, but that probably
wouldn't help you if you're on Windows. OSX might have similar
capabilities, but I don't know.
