If you're looking for on-demand streaming (each client connects and views a stream starting from the beginning) as opposed to live streaming (many clients join a single video/audio feed and stream from whatever live moment is currently playing from the source), as one author of the now-ubiquitous SHOUTcast streaming system allow me to wholeheartedly recommend apache for on-demand streams. Most client solutions support HTTP streams. If you need live video streaming (and by the sound of your note I don't believe you do) videolan.org has some very decent options. For live audio, my old projects at shoutcast.com live on, and icecast, while a product with a smaller client audience, has also proven itself to be excellent.
