I just found a way to stream flac across the net, I have not yet tried it.

Go to http://www.oddsock.org and download 3.1.6 version of Oddcast. 
There is a plugin for Winamp, Foobar, or a standalone version. This 
is for Windows.

Added support for oggFLAC streaming. A note about this, currently as 
the release of this plugin, there are very very few clients that 
actually support oggFLAC streaming. The only one I found was on the 
windows platform here : 
<http://www.illiminable.com/ogg/>http://www.illiminable.com/ogg/. 
Installing those filters will allow you to play oggFLAC streams from 
within Windows Media Player. Currently Winamp and Foobar2k do NOT 
work. Hopefully this will change in the future. Also, streaming 
oggFLAC is really only good for LAN streaming as it is lossless and 
very high bitrate. There is currently no way to "configure" any 
oggFLAC options. Also, you need to use the at least Icecast (2.3.0) 
in order to support oggFLAC streaming.
