Thank you,

Having had a similar requirement for myself, I can tell you the only solution that would work would be 3 raspberry pi's to accomplish this.  One would act as the rasplex with the audio out jack patched to the USB soundcard on the other pi  (need to set the audio manually to audio jack), one would act as an encoder with a USB soundcard and one would act as a decoder.

I was asked to extend the audio across a link with only layer 3 IP connection without major construction and did this with a rasplex encoder/decoder using wheezy and VLC.  Hindsight, there are some better applications out there for the encoding like icecast.

And do you think it's possible to do with an other OS like ubuntu or debian ?
