John, I think that sounds like a great idea. 'screen' is easy to use for that type of stuff. He'd just log in with ssh, type 'screen' and other people would do the same but type 'screen -x'.
Icecast is pretty neat but there's a delay of about 8 seconds when I run it. It wouldn't allow for conversations, questions, etc. either. I'd go with one of your other suggestions.
