>Orb looks interesting but I'm not sure it would meet our needs. 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.

There is going to be some latency no matter what you do, but there is some info to help you deal with it. FYI there are ways to get it down to almost nothing.
