[BBLISA] Streaming audio from CentOS 4.4?

[Scott Ehrlich]

I have a vhf/uhf scanner at home I want to pipe the audio from into a PC's 
mic connection and listen at work.

After a lot of trial and error last night trying to get things to work, I 
finally gave up and went to sleep.  This morning, I performed a last-ditch 
attempt for Windows streaming server, came across Windows Media Encoder 
from Microsoft's site, installed it on my XP Home laptop, and in minutes, 
was up and streaming.

Not a Linux solution, but I wanted to report how I got things working.
