[Ubuntu] Streaming live audio to Internet?

[Scott Ehrlich]

I have a Windows XP home laptop that does a wonderful job of streaming 
audio from a vhf/uhf scanner, with XP utilizing Icecast2 and Oddsock.
When at work, I listen using RealPlayer on a Linux box and it works great.

I posted a message to Ubuntuforums.org (17 views thus far) asking for a 
successful equivalent for Ubuntu (7.04) for the audio streaming, but no 
responses.  So, I bring the question (again?) to this list.

What would be the winning combination of tools in Ubuntu to get streaming 
audio from the scanner out to the Internet, on a port of my choice?   I've 
tried several unsuccessful attempts on my Ubuntu 7.04 desktop.  I figure 
if I can get it to work on my desktop, I could transfer the winning 
results to the laptop.

Thanks for any leads.

Scott
