Not to clutter this list up with commercial chatter or anything, but this is
actually exactly what the company I work for, ClearBand, does. Try our web
site http://www.clearband.com.

We tend to sell fully loaded (encoder) systems on a variety of hardware
platform, but this is simply for convenience, as it is non-trivial for most
users to configure the A/V card and network. What we really make is
software - the hardware is all commercially available to the public.
(I'm working on improving the audio from the current Layer-II codec to a
Layer-III one, starting from the hopelessly awful ISO 'dist10' sources,
which explains my periodic questions/rants about that code, in case anyone
was wondering...)
