Stream live audio between computers

I'm looking for help on how to capture the audio from the soundcard, and stream it to another computer via winsock.

I have searched for code, activex controls etc, but it seems that everything out there either captures live audio to a file (useless to me), or streams audio from a file (again useless to me).

I need to capture and stream the audio, and have it audible at the other end.

Any help appreciated.


Be good. If you can't, don't get caught!
 
I investigated something similar a while back and turned up empty also. I ended up adopting a method of recording in half second intervals and streaming the file to the far end.

It work, but there were a lot of artifacts in the audio. I'm not certain that there is a relitively simple solution. I may revisit this project after I get some additional C++ experience, and maybe tie something into my original project then.

Not a VB expert by any means though, so anyone feel free to correct me.
 
Windows Servers do streaming.
