Is it possible to stream audio from a computer to a good wifi router and
broadcast that way to computers around you?

Sure, but that's just internet broadcasting under a different name. Or
maybe intranet broadcasting if you want to maintain an independant wifi
network for the job.

I was thinking of an earlier thread from someone who was looking for a way
to broadcast to his neighbors in a small town.

The problem is that you're now paying royalties for the music, which is
more than you'd be paying as a noncomm broadcaster for ASCAP and BMI
licensing. Also the audio quality isn't so hot.

What would be involved and how many people could tune in the stream at a
time?

It's multicast, so as many people can tune in as can get within range.
That last bit, though, is a real bear.
