I would say VLC on both machines? You should be able to stream from the
windows machine to the Ubuntu one, not tried it, but quickly looking at the
options on VLC it sure seems like its possible. I used to use a app called
"edcast" and also winamp with the "shoutcastDSP plugin" in windows to stream
to a shoutcast server, but thats a bit over the top for what you need.
