xStreamer: modular multimedia streaming

The xStreamer intends to be a flexible and modular open source streamer. The selection of current open source streamers which support both video and audio is limited, with VLC Media Player, Darwin Streaming Server and Helix DNA Server being the foremost solutions. The xStreamer distinguishes itself by providing a modularity that goes beyond the mere modular programming offered by the current open source solutions and that manifests itself in how the user controls and configures the streamer.
