Anyone have any experience in the area?

I was able to successfully compile and run the OpenH323 Gatekeeper on a
SuSE image running under VM.  The Gatekeeper proxied video and audio
traffic between two NetMeeting clients (on different networks).  Two people
communications worked swimmingly... however... I also compiled the OpenMCU
client and managed to successfully flood the PIX that the OSA is plugged
into with enough traffic to bring it down.  Not exactly sure why, but my
best guess is that the multi-conference server ate up all the bandwidth
with broadcasts.  But that's not really my question (because I had to
promise not to run OpenMCU again -- at least not in production -- and what
kind of fun is that?)

What I'd really like to know is if anyone has run streaming video through a
linux image yet.  The type that would allow a company exec to broadcast a
real time message to the underlings via a web page/multimedia player
plugin.  I found an article about CNN and streaming video that mentioned
Marist college attempting to stream through the mainframe but I haven't
found much else.  I'd like to get my hands on a GPL copy of some type of
streaming server software and maybe a "How To" if it exists.

Thanks for any help and info,
