I'm a fulltime WordPress Developer at interconnect/it in the UK. I also build RTS AIs & attend WordPress/design conferences.

Any questions please say hello, I can normally be found in the WPSE chat ( link in the top header ).

If you'd like me to work on something for you, why not give my company a call? ( Office hours GMT 10-18:00 )

I would point out that there are additional steps you failed to mention to get the loopback setup. Go into the recordng devices in control panel, show the disabled devices, and enable the stereo mix, then relaunch edcast and select that. Please update your answer with this information! Also mention that edcast standalone is required

I suspect you know how to do loopback recording and you're assuming I already have that setup, or you're using a feature of an older version of windows I'm unaware of

So yes you are streaming sound, but you are not streaming the soundcard output, there is no such option available to me in edcast, nor is it what happens if I merely open edcast after a fresh install and try to add an encoder

If this was the answer, I would have heard what was playing in itunes, albeit with a delay. Instead I heard myself typing. This is not what I asked.

I set it up again on a different machine. I turned off my speakers, and started loading apps that made noises, such as itunes, youtube, etc. I then waited to see what I heard.

When you add that part to your answer I will accept, otherwise your answer merely asks "how do I stream audio from a PC microphone over the network?", whereas the questions is "how do I stream the various sounds my PC generates over the network?"

Fraps manages it, it records the sound from your desktop environment, what Im getting at the moment is not my systems audio, its my microphones audio (if I wanted the mic audio I could just start a skype call or any other voip). I'm testing this by loading a youtube video in the browser. I expect to hear the video through my iphone, instead I hear what comes through the microphone

But it doesn't do what I want, I want to stream my machines audio, you've gotten the streaming part, you haven't gotten the other part!

So I have it piping the microphone now, but what I want is it piping the OS audio, so you're 90% of the way there

Nevermind I got edcast etc working, and I got an app on my iPhone, and went to test. I played a youtube video on my laptop and listened to see what came out of the feed. Nothing. I said something like 'shit' and heard it 4 or 5 seconds later through my iPhone.

Again, nice but how??!!?!?!?!? There is next to no documentation, none of it is clear, and the UI gives few clues. I installed edcast and icecast, launched icecast, then edcast, and tried to do something with it. If I click add encoder and then try to connect in edcast, it repeatedly tries to connect getting nowhere. There're no configuration options on where to connect it, or howto guide, or help buttons
