All of the solutions I've checked into so far use a certain amount of buffering that increases the stream latency. We want to stream live audio with as low latency as possible. Most apps have no problem with latency and are usually stream over the internet, we will be streaming over an intranet and need the server and players to occupy the same sub-net.
It's pretty easy to broadcast with the Windows Media Encoder - I've done it before with both audio & video.
