Is there a way to stream to my friends the song I am listening to in banshee or rhythmbox. I am not only asking for the ability to show what song I am listening to which works already by activating the Telepathy extension, but also to have a way to let them hear it while I play it. When I play a song they can also hear it on their PCs.

The task you are asking for is setting up an internet radio stream. This can best be achieved by running an combination of Icecast2 with Ices2 (for OGG Vorbis streams) or Darkice (for mp3).

By this doing so we are able to broadcast the sound of our local sound card over the internet using a well established and stable protocol independent of local music players used (you could even broadcast the sound from a microphone).

See also this answer for a guide to a basic setup or visit the Icecast documentation site for further details.
