Any? :?) If you're interested in doing both unicast *and* multicast, then you might want to consider streaming MP3 audio. On your FreeBSD server machine you can set up "LiveIce" (to do the encoding to MP3) and "Icecast" to do the streaming, to server unicast customers. (See <http://www.icecast.org/>) Then, for multicast customers, you can use a program like "liveCaster" <http://www.live.com/liveCaster/>. This can take its input from an Icecast stream (or from locally-stored .mp3 files, or from stdin). Ross.
