Netjuke (http://www.netjuke.org) can do that -- it supports three 
different modes. It can stream files over an http connection, or you can 
use it to control a shoutcast/icecast playlist, or you can use it to 
control a server-side playlist (which you would then play with mplayer).

I haven't used it this way myself, so I can't tell you how well it 
works, but I've been very happy with the web streaming side of things.

note: this is v1 I'm talking about. Development on v1 stopped quite a 
while ago and the project seemed dead, but recently the developers have 
started working on v2 and have released a beta or two. Having tried the 
v2 betas, I'd recommend sticking with v1 at the moment.
