You may want to try, shoutcast, mpeg3 layer streaming, that is
compatible with unix, and you can run it perfectly fine on Mac Os X,
its free, and can be played, by itunes, winamp, real player, any mpeg3
streaming player.
Go to www.shoutcast.com and download the mac os version server.

Hope this helps

Icecast also works really well for this sort of thing. 

Also, make sure you have enough bandwidth to support 50 people...
64kbps * 50 = 3.2mbits which is more than 2 T1 lines.  And remember,
this is your UPLOAD bandwith.  Comcast internet is typically 3 mbit
downstream, but upstream is still about 256kbit(enough for 4 people to
listen @ 64kbit -- if you're lucky)
