Yes, Xen works on just about anything that Linux will run on.

Regarding PCI passthrough, in theory, yes. Ive had a little hit and miss 
with it myself. I've used passthrough to move several NICs with success, 
but had trouble with some DVB-T cards.
Maybe a silly question, but why would a web radio need access to a 
hardware sound card? I thought they used digital media and the DJs don't 
need to be on the server, they are also connected via network/internet.
