A superb method that has worked for us is to use Icecast/Oddcast in AAC+ format for instreaming. (free open source) (oddcast is a plugin for winamp) Use the Barix AAC+ exstreamer at the other end. Your sound will blow your mind at low bitrates, and even better at 96 or 128 in AAC. You can't use AAC on the Barix Instreamer as far as I know. Randy wpio
