libshout could do the timing for the likes of ezstream but currently
doesn't. Players like mplayer should be able to play off net though.

There's still a few unknown elements to it though and I haven't looked
into it much, but the basic streaming side of it can be done easily.

According to:
http://www.speex.org/projects.html

in the Player Plugins and Code Examples section, there are some 
libraries that allow media player, XMMS, etc to play speex.
However I'm not sure if the format that they expect is the same format 
that icecast with Karl's modifications is currently producing.

Past that, the dev branch of speex (1.1.6 currently) has a working 
adaptive jitter buffer implementation (working AFAIK). Maybe that might 
be helpful with this to handle the timing and latency issues.

what it sends is what comes in (no rebuilding of the stream), taking
into account the header pages, so that side is not really an issue.

The plugins for the likes of xmms may be limited (although I haven't
tried yet) as some players require specific handling for streams from
the LAN as opposed to files.
