We're using Windows Media Services w/ CF. We chose WMS over
(Un)RealServer for two reasons: 1) PRICE! and 2) Real has had some
nasty security / DoS exploits in recent months (Check out the
archives at NTBugTraq if you haven't seen them).
Our authentication isn't as good as it could be, unfortunately.
Currently members login, and their IP is added to the list of allowed
video IPs on the video server via a call to CFRegistry. When their
sessions expire, we have a garbage collection routine that removes
the IPs from the registry. Not great, but functional...
On our list of Things to Do, we would like to write an authentication
filter for WMS that would authenticate each user when they connect to
the video server. WMS allows you to write DLLs which handle all the
auth work & basically return 'Yea' or 'Nay' to the video server. We
want to produce something that would grab the user's CFID & CFTOKEN
cookies, connect to our SQL Server, and see if those IDs were
currently valid in the Client variable store. Shouldn't be too
difficult, right?...
We use our system for streaming video, but there's no reason the
exact same system wouldn't support streaming audio for your needs.

So I don't always remember everything that was said.
Thanks!
