video streaming was one of the things i had in mind, together with 
speex support (i had asked about that in another posting, but it 
went unnoticed...)

will icecast eventually be able to stream all of ogg 
{vorbis|theora|speex} ?

<p>excuse the off-topic request, but does anyone around here have 
experience with video streaming under linux, preferably with 
open-source tools? if you do, would you share it with me?
(since this is not really icecast-related, please consider to 
contact me in private mail, i will summarize your messages to the 
list to keep the noise down.)

<p>thanks to your helpful replies so far!

all the best,

jörn
