For LAC we use icecast2 servers and a `dvgrab | ffmpeg2theora | oggfwd` pipeline to send an A/V stream to it. http://en.flossmanuals.net/FFmpeg2Theora/StreamingDV/ For conference streaming: http://dvswitch.alioth.debian.org/wiki/ For more /artistic/ projects: Pd-extended features [oggamp~] [oggcast~] [pdp_icedthe~] [pdp_theonice~] gstreamer can also send A/V to icecast: `gst-launch videotestsrc ! theoraenc ! oggmux ! shout2send ip=... port=... password=... mount=/test.ogg` or `... theoraenc ! oggmux ! fdsink | oggfwd server port password -p -g "genre" -n "title" -d "description" test.ogv` VLC features built-in camera capture and icecast/shoutcast support. It's also one of the few FLOSS projects that supports QT capture on OSX: vlc qtcapture:// --sout='#transcode{vcodec=theo,vb=128}:standard{access=shout,mux=ogg,dst=source:ICECASTPassword@server:port/mountpoint.ogg}' In the not too distant future .webm will become a viable alternative, but icecast2 does not yet support that OOTB on most distributions.
