Streaming and Recording Protocol

What is an open source, well-documented audio (video is not required) streaming (from the server) protocol that also supports recording (to the server), that I should use for a completely new application?

• RTMP is not开发者_高级运维 an option
• This protocol must have a client library for AC3/AC2

Thanks.

Why not use SHOUTcast? Sounds like it will work perfect for your application.

As far as recording the stream goes, you can use something like StreamRipper, or even WGET.

No special client library necessary, as it is compatible with HTTP. The only thing you have to worry about is your client keeping audio buffer around after it has been played, but there are many solutions to that, especially with AS3.

Try Red5. It's open source and has a recorder, also open source.

If you are OK with spending few dollars, have a look at Wowza Media Server too.
