I'm still reading the Asterisk book so any opinion I might give is
going to be woefully uninformed. It sounds like Icecast may be the
easiest short-term solution, especially since it was difficult to find
anything via Google on Flumotion integration.
I will happily set up and configure an Icecast server. They are
incredibly easy to configure, work quite well and can handle a lot of
connectons for audio. Video is available, but the bandwidth demand is
a bit higher.
Icecast can also deliver previously recorded data with mount points
and thus is a really good solution for streaming. It supports both
ogg vorbis and ogg theora. I haven't done much with fluendo, so I
can't say how features compare.
It might be a good idea to pre-setup both Icecast and Fluendo on a
test server (each) and then get the Asterisk data to start sending to
both.
