If you're looking for on-demand streaming (each client connects and  
views a stream starting from the beginning) as opposed to live  
streaming (many clients join a single video/audio feed and stream  
from whatever live moment is currently playing from the source), as  
one author of the now-ubiquitous SHOUTcast streaming system allow me  
to wholeheartedly recommend apache for on-demand streams.  Most  
client solutions support HTTP streams.

If you need live video streaming (and by the sound of your note I  
don't believe you do) videolan.org has some very decent options.  For  
live audio, my old projects at shoutcast.com live on, and icecast,  
while a product with a smaller client audience, has also proven  
itself to be excellent.

Regards,
-Tom
