The audio is compressed to conserve bandwidth. This can be done in real-time (live) or before hand (prerecorded.) There is a server that listens for incoming connections which may or may not be the same system capturing and compressing the audio. This server's sole purpose is to transfer the audio to the client. The client has a program that is able to receive the compressed data and decompress it, sending the decompressed audio to the speaker.

You can support multicast or unicast or both type streaming. If you go for multicast then you have to provide a means by which the client player can get the information about the media (Mulitcast address, port and media encoding information). This can be done using HTTP server.
If u go for unicast streaming then you may have to use RTSP protocol to enable the client establish a session. Lot of free RTSP implementation are available.
Have a look at this site :

Here you can get lot of code that you can reuse for ur implementation. Read the Policy of the site before reusing the code.
