If you could manage to write to a named pipe (FIFO) you could then read the data comming in, process it and then send it over to another machine (maybe using netcat). In bash something like the following should do the read, convert and sending thing: cat somefilename | lame -b 192 - | nc -p 29528 remote.machine.com. On the receiving machine it would be: nc -l -p 29528 | lame --decode - | aplay. I would prefer a more sophisticated approach like something written in C but for testing purposes this should be enough. But be warned: this is just one of these ideas I have sometimes. I never tested this. And be sure to connect your pipes before sending any data to them! Maybe "man 7 fifo" is of some help. If that works please let me know.
