hmm, maybe this isnt so hush as it was a while ago. RealServer9 is able to
stream windows media over mms, and there is a linux version available. The
player will also play wmp. Although it is a commerial product, you can stream
to 20 clients for free. Also Real have plans to do OGG at some point soon.
