P.S. I  forgot to mention I am on the Windows platform.  I would most likely 
stream from a Windows 2000 box to an XP box.

IceCast is what I have used for streaming Ogg Vorbis audio in the past,
but I think it can handle other media formats too.  It's free.  It seems
to be designed for internet radio uses, but I believe you can set it up
so that only certain IP addresses can listen, and I'm fairly sure there
is a way to password protect the stream too.

Does anyone know of a way to send a high-quality (better than telephone-quality) 
audio stream over the Internet?  I would like to stream audio from my work to my 
home.  I have a broadband Internet connection at both ends, and VPN is possible 
as well.  There seems to be plenty of products that deal with telephone-quality 
audio (VOIP, voice-chat program, etc.), but I haven't found anything for 
higher-quality audio.  I tried the recently-released Google Talk to do this, but 
found the quality unacceptable.  Something like a 128kbps MP3 stream would be 
ideal.

My purpose is to be able to increasingly work from home while leaving all my 
tools at work.  Using remote control software (RealVNC) to control my work PC 
from home is working well to allow for code development, accessing network 
resources, etc.  But since I am in audio development, being able to listen the 
results of my code changes is key to allow me to fully work remotely.

Free solutions would be ideal, though commercial products would be considered as 
well.  This is a bit OT for DSP, so recommendations of other places to ask are 
solicited as well.  Thanks!
