FFmpeg can stream multirate, multiformat. I've tested MPEG and WMA.

FFmpeg can also function as a "repeater" (so can Icecast) so if you need 
thousands of listeners just have a bunch of repeaters, and your encoder is 
only feeding the repeaters.

I had TWO people accessing it.  :)
Used WindowsMedia. Basically you connect to URL

http://myserver:8000/low.m3u  -- to get low bandwidth MPEG
http://myserver:8000/high.m3u -- high-bandwidth MPEG
http://myserver:8000/low.wma  -- low-bandwidth WMA

etc. etc.
it's not rocket science.
