Some internet radio station support things like this.  For example,
radioparadise.com uses something called Abacast with their Windows Media feeds
that does p2p redistribution of the feed if you're on the same network.  Cuts
bandwidth right down.

I don't know of anything equivilent for mp3 or ogg, but it's a neat idea that
appears to work well.
