Sadly, it seems Adobe is legally going to prevent Red5 and the likes doing so:

"I am not in a position able to explain to you why we will not allow
3rd party streaming servers to stream H.264 video or AAC audio into
the Flash Player. What I can tell you is that we do not allow this
without proper licensing. Refer to Adobe's friendly Flash Media Server
sales staff for more information."

This is being discussed in Red5 mailing list:

Cheers,
