[Icecast] live mpeg4 input

[Mike Murrell]

I streamed Mpeg4 via QuickTime for several years using the encoder and
Helios server.  Worked great with a QT player so it can be done but I don't
know of a way to do it for free.

You can't, actually; the mp4 format has no provision for live
streaming.  It has to provide complete framing for a file up-front
before video data delivery begins.

You'll have to use VP6 or some other solution such as HTML5 with Ogg
video.  Soon, WebM will also be able to do this.
