Yes online radio station plus social features like Twitch and even Twitch streamers could restream their live audio to this new audio platform.

When you think about social audio, who is number one? Spotify is music subscription service and it's not really YouTube for audio meant for content creators and SoundCloud is stuck in time and it never really took off.

I would like to see SoundCloud reimagined with new features and ideas.

I'm not sure, maybe you have something there but I believe that if people are as engaged as you describe for social features to make sense, commenting and stuff, they want to see the person as well. We are very visual.
