looks like libshout is a broadcast server only, no client part?

This is where XBMP for its current client/reviever code from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/streamripper/

A couple of newer C/C++ open source clinet projects are:

Zinf, has streaming SHOUTcast, Icecast, RTP http://sourceforge.net/projects/zinf/

CoolPlayer, Shoutcast/http MP3/Ogg streaming http://sourceforge.net/projects/coolplayer/
