I definitely recommend getting familiar with liquidsoap if you're going
to do something with streaming.  It's hugely versatile for manipulating 
feeding icecast.  I know it accepts input from JACK.

I used it as part of the infrastructure for my friends over at 
http://eargazm.com and it made a huge difference in simplifying
operations.  The biggest win for me was being able to automatically
detect when a live show started, pause the prerecorded source, push
the live feed to the stream *and* automatically record the live feed in
an .ogg file.
