How to do live streaming to FMS3 on Linux?

Hi, I'm currently running FMS3 on RedHat Linux and it's working fine for VOD files. I'm trying to figure out how to do live streaming with this and am confused. I know that if I was running Windows, I could just use Flash Media Encoder, but I'm not. Has anyone had any experience with this? I know that I would obviously need a capture card but then what other software is needed to make FMS3 aware of this live stream?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    So , again I repeat the question , will you try linux box instead of windows to send stream to FMS on linux server box??

    So what you're saying is you stream the live feed on a windows box (with media encoder installed) to the IP of the linux box (origin server)???

    Correct.

    You would still use the FME (Flash Media Encoder) to send the stream to the FMS3. You simply need to specify your linux's servers IP instead of localhost.

    Now I have been playing around with the Live sample application that Adobe provided and I too have been seeing some issues with it. As of yet I haven't solved them all on my server. But I don't think you should have any major problem.
