Because of the upstream bandwidth limitations I recommend that you reconsider this requirement. As you have already discovered more then 800kbit/s upstream is going to cost money. Even 800kbit/s on DSL is optomistic and likely unreliable. The limited bandwidth could be better used by hosting prerecorded audio on a webserver served up by RSS. If live broadcasting is a must then tune the software to record mono with a sample rate of 22kHz and encode the MP3 stream at 16kbit/s. CBC radio uses similar settings for their low bandwidth radio stream. It does not sound great, but it is not too terrible. With overhead you should be able to serve 20 users. (a number of howtos recommend doubling the mp3 bitrate when calculating bandwidth requirements.) -- sg
