Very succintly

Use WMA2 video Codec at 96k bitrate
Use MP3 audio Codec at 64k bitrate with 2 Channels


Watch your video fly in realtime

Make sure to set your Advanced video cache at 6000 - 7000 ns

Make sure to set your regular cache at 6000 - 7000 ns

it depedes on you computer and video input card and also your BW. it meanes that in each BW one setting is the best.
any way as normal, if you have a video capture card with mp4 codec like osprey cards the best codec for audio is mp4a and best video codec is mpeg4 or h264. (at least in my system and via my test!) :)

What do you consider the available bandwidth to be? What are the files compressed with now?

They mostly compressed with Xvid, but some are Divx, Bandwidth is about 10Mbit/s.

Then you should be fine streaming with most anything around 500 - 900 kbps

[note that the available bandwidth question above meant between you and the viewer, not your internet connection]
