Hi,
my situation is that, and I've no Idea how to solve it:

I have a server who record audio from ISDN PRI E1/T1 Card(30 channel
Simultaneously), this audio is writing
in a RAW temp file, and at the end of the registration RAW file is converted
to WAV.

I have to stream this audio file to 5/10 clients on LAN BEFORE the
registration is finish (live streaming). Is this possible with Windows Media
Service ?

Audio is recorder by ISDN card at 8KHz 8bit.

What I have to do ?
Sorry for my bad known of english

Thanks a lot

No. WMS requires ASF (WMA / WMV) or MP3 content, there's no support
for live transcoding from WAV or "raw" to those contents on the fly .

WM Encoder would be used to do this and send the live stream to the
server for distribution. But it will need a recognised file format and
4CC header to determine which DirectShow filters to load for decoding
the content. RAW probably wouldn't work, so you'd need WAV at least.

Theoretically (I haven't tested this) if you were writing a WAV
directly, and the file wasn't locked by another user process it *may*
be able to read the file while it's being written, but it would still
require the 4CC code to be written to the file header before starting
to encode.

>Audio is recorder by ISDN card at 8KHz 8bit.

WME does offer 8khz voice audio encoding profiles - usually it'd
expect 16 bits, I'm not sure the quality of 8 bit audio will be very
good. Typically those streams can be run from 4-16kbps.

I can't think of anything apart from trying running the encoder on the
WAV file as it's being written to disk, and see if it works.

I can't really test this here since I don't have your hardware writing
to a disk file, so there's no way for me to reproduce the test
conditions.

If that doesn't work, I can't think of anything else which would r/now

Thanks Neil,

Is it a part of W2003 server ?

Bye Have a happy Christmas
