I would use Icecast (icecast2 package) as the audio server.

If you are comfortable with the command line, you can use something like 
darkice (MP3, Ogg Vorbis and more) or ices2 (Ogg Vorbis only) to stream 
the audio to Icecasst.  Both use a config file which you set up once and 
can then basically forget.

Darkice has a GTK front-end called darksnow but I don't know anything 
about its accessibility.
