mmm, I'm not a video producer, I really use to work with people that
know about it. I have no cameras. I work in the streaming side only. So,
for the stable plato in metalab, the first is setup the streambox, and
afterwards, we can seat and thing about the possibilities for a good
production and other people participation.

No, Icecast (http://icecast.org) is an streaming server. People
broadcast againts icecast server, and listeners connects to that server.
Nothing about video conferencing (2 ways communication), this is totally
another issue
