I hope I understand correctly, so what about peercast ?

It uses P2P technologies, so everyone listening (watching) becomes
also a repeater.
http://www.peercast.org/
At the moment it doesn't support a lot of video formats, but that
could be useful if you want to stream but don't have a big bandwidth ?

BTW, I tried it, but never could get it working. Maube the video
format was wrong, but I didn't take time to analyze.

Hope this helps,

Jeremy
