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.
