Hi Victor

If what you want is send the file little by little, so someone can connect to the stream after you start the stream, you can try this command
ffmpeg -i conference.mp3 -acodec copy -f rtp rtp://239.8.8.8:5000  -re
With -re you read the input at native frame rate, so you will be sending it as long as the file duration.
I hope it helps.
