Thanks for the suggestions so far!
Has anyone on the list tried more than one of Airtime, IDJC and Rivendell (plus any of the other solutions) enough to make a good comparison?
I can't see any mention of JACK support on the Airtime site and we may need this to get Skype working but the other two do claim JACK support. I get the impression Airtime has the most features otherwise but I expect they'll gladly trade stability and ease of use/ maintenance over a flashy set of features.

I use darkice and icecast2 here.
Have seen people suggesting liquidsoap in place of darkice iirc.
