Question

so i have been racking my brain with trying to get an audio/video broadcasting method going with python.

I have done allot of research, hit google up quite a bit, and found a few audio broadcasting methods, but those are simply for mp3 based broadcasting systems.

What I am looking to do, is broadcast with python (audio/video) that will play in sync together to an audience (much like ustream).

If anyone could shed some light on this situation, I would be greatly appreciative!

Also, if there is a way that this could be done via HTML 5, that would be even more fantastic

And what about gstreamer?

http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/

I already read about a lot of projects using gstreamer to stream video and audio :

Gstreamer woiuld be the server part of the application.
To catch the stream, you’ll need a plugin.

I think about vlc for example :

I know that the vlc plugin and gstreamer can work together, I experienced it myself in the past.
