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.
