Streaming audio from CentOS 4.4?

[scott at MIT.EDU (Scott Ehrlich)]

Well, after spending way too much time last night trying to get this 
working again, then giving up and going to sleep, this morning I ran a 
last-minute query for Windows streaming server on google, came across 
Windows Media Encoder, downloaded and installed it on my XP Home laptop, 
attached my scanner to the mic input of the laptop, and it was configured 
and worked in probably 5 or 10 minutes max.

Granted not a UNIX/Linux solution, but thought I'd relay my end results 
and how they were obtained.
