As far as I can tell, there are no Open Source streaming servers that support (realtime) HTTP Live Streaming. I think this is a massive shame and I would LOVE to see one.

So I think it makes great sense for Adobe to add support for this as there are so few HTTP Live Streaming solutions out there right now.

VLC apparently streams on http. Is it the same thing? http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Streaming_HowTo_New

erlyvideo does HTTP Live Streaming "internally"

segmenter (various open source variations floating around googlecode, github and other places) does too, by creating the files and letting you stream them out with your own web server (Apache, nginx, ....)

There's enough support for it to be useful.
