Streaming audio from microphone to network

Question

I have the following problem:

I want to stream the audio I record with one machine to another machine in the same network. It seems that vlc is the best shot at the moment. I was able to stream a music file via vlc but streaming the audio from the microphone the same doesn't work.

EDIT If I enable play locally the captured sound is played. Even streaming to another instance of VLC on the same machine doesn't work.

Answer 1

Look at the pulseaudio. It should be installed in ubuntu by default. It can act as audio server. More details here: PulseAudio

Answer 2

You could use a shoutcast server.
