Friends --

My brother is a musician who is giving a series of doctoral recitals. He would like to stream the audio of these shows live from the university network over the internet to those who can't be there in person. While historically I've used the venerable vlc to perform a similar task I have only done this on a single network.

Some cursory searching has lead me to believe that I could connect vlc on his computer to an internet-accessible machine running icecast (via ssh or otherwise). Consumers could then connect to this icecast server using a browser, vlc, etc.

Does this seem like a reasonable strategy? Are there some clearly superior solutions or limitations I am overlooking?

Thanks,
