[Macpartners] Streaming audio servers?

[Justin Anderson]

What you want is a combination of QTSS and QuickTime Broadcaster.

QTSS is just a media server -- it reflects live streams and pre- 
recorded media to other computers.

Broadcaster is what takes audio / video from a source computer,  
compresses it, and streams it to QTSS. That makes it so the streaming  
server doesn't need to be on the same machine as the microphone.

You can get QuickTime Broadcaster from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/ 
broadcaster/
