1) If the need is to spread a streaming audio signal, I would recommend
   icecast (http://www.icecast.org/). We could even convince any of the
   community servers/radios using it to take our signal and broadcast
   it (and the meeting will be really open and public, as we hope it
   to be). Many source clients can point to a server, but some 
   out-of-band coordiantion will be needed (which can be done via
   IRC or jabber)
2) However, to cope with the disparity of access facilities available
   to the different members of this list and other participants,
   I would suggest using plain, old, simple and reliable IRC. 
   All needed infrastructure is already there; just open a channel
   at, e.g., freenode. We should discuss the operational issues
   (e.g., coordination, `voice' and `devoice', etc.)
3) A number of people in this list does not use Windows (including
   myself), therefore a Windows-only solution would be unacceptable.

1) Si lo que se precisa es diseminar una señal de audio, recomiendo
   icecast (http://www.icecast.org/). Hasta podríamos lograr convencer
   a alguno de los servidores/radios comunitarios de tomar nuestra
   señal y difundirla (y el encuentro sería realmente público y
   abierto, como esperamos que sea). Muchos clientes de origen 
   pueden apuntar a un servidor, pero necesitaremos alguna 
   coordinacion fuera de banda (lo que puede hacerse con IRC o
   jabber)
2) Sin embargo, para lidiar con la disparidad de facilidades de
   acceso disponibles para los miembros de esta lista y otros
   participantes, sugiero usar el llano, viejo, simple y confiable
   IRC. Toda la infraestructura necesaria ya esta alli; basta con
   abrir un canal en freenode, por ejemplo. Deberiamos discutir 
   las cuestiones operativas (coordinación, `voice' y `devoice',
   etc.)
3) Una cantidad de personas en esta lista no usa Windows (me
   incluyo), por lo que una solucion solo Windows resultaria
   inaceptable.

Saludos desde el Lejano Sur,

Enrique
