Hi. To answer all your questions, maybe it's best that I point you to the broadcasting tutorial done by Jonathan Mosen for Main Menu some months back. It'll answer all your questions better than I ever could. But yes, the shoutcast plugin and server are both free. Please note, and this is really important! That the method Jonathan uses to broadcast isn't the only method you can use, there are others and it's better that you understand the basics first before you can better understand the more complex things. Just keep in mind that there are more than one ways to do what's being done. The first part of the series can be gotten at http://www.acbradio.org/archives/mainmenu/mm1055.mp3 Part 2 is at http://www.acbradio.org/archives/mainmenu/mm1096.mp3 Part 3 is at http://www.acbradio.org/archives/mainmenu/mm1146.mp3 and for a tutorial on setting up a shoutcast server, http://www.acbradio.org/archives/mainmenu/mm1336.mp3 I hope all these links work for you. Go through the tutorial step by step and if you have any questions, feel free to post them here.
