What kind of bitrate? How much bandwidht do they have? How many concurrent
connections do they need to support? Do a search on freshmeat. I used
icecast for a while when I had dsl. I'd stream mp3's from home to work. It
worked fairly well, but it would saturate the line pretty badly if more
then like 2 people were streaming. I had the bitrate set kind of high.
Quality was more important to me.
Theres a buch of stuff in a bunch of languages out there. I think
someone's working on a mod_mp3 for apache also, but its variable bitrate
stuff needs a little polish.
