On Ive also had some experience with icecast. My question is how do we tie asterisk into it?
Try to google for asterisk and icecast, there seems to be an Ices module since asterisk 1.4.

I'm still reading the Asterisk book so any opinion I might give is going to be woefully uninformed. It sounds like Icecast may be the easiest short-term solution, especially since it was difficult to find anything via Google on Flumotion integration.
I will happily set up and configure an Icecast server. They are incredibly easy to configure, work quite well and can handle a lot of connectons for audio. Video is available, but the bandwidth demand is a bit higher.
Icecast can also deliver previously recorded data with mount points and thus is a really good solution for streaming. It supports both ogg vorbis and ogg theora. I haven't done much with fluendo, so I can't say how features compare.
It might be a good idea to pre-setup both Icecast and Fluendo on a test server (each) and then get the Asterisk data to start sending to both.
Cheers,
