Brent, You could write the Python program as a proxy of the internet stream. Basically, you would point your proxy at the web stream and receive the data it sends. At the same time, you would be listening for connections on some socket on the local machine. You would then point winamp towards the local socket instead of the internet station.
If you put a "mute" button on your program, pressing it could trigger your program to begin sending empty data to winamp, and resume sending it at some arbitrary point.
