How to stream live audio

[iluvperl]

Hope this is the right palce to ask. A client came up to me asking me to make him an online radio station type of thing (I'm just their programmer, I don't have any experience with designing or things of this nature).

What does one need to do to stream LIVE audio? Not saved MP3s or anything that we need to manually upload, but something LIVE? Any special (hopefully free) software needed?

This would be for something that WMP would play.
