Are you looking only for a service, or are you open to the idea of 
running it yourself?  If DIY is an option, check out the Darwin 
Streaming Server, which is the open-source version of Apple's QuickTime 
Streaming Server.  I've used it for video streaming on Linux, but it's 
capable of streaming mp3 audio.  It has support for live audio/video 
streaming as well, but I haven't used those features.
