If you're talking about real streaming - like audio or video - then I doubt any XML+HTTP-based approach is going to work well. Instead, I'd recommend using one of the technologies specifically designed for streaming. If you want to leverage web services, set it up so that you can send a SOAP message to start/stop the stream, but the response is a URI that identifies the stream, not the stream itself.
