I'm looking for software that can stream a looped video file as the video source and use live radio for an audio source.

I've looked at MS media encoder and expression. You can queue up those two sources, but it won't stream them simultaneously.

What I'm basically trying to do is stream an AFN radio station that people can listen to, but also get a visual of a powerpoint slide show (which I can convert to an avi). People will access the stream through a mms:// url.

Anyone know of some software that'll do that?
 
I don't know of a software that will do that, but I do have a suggestion.
Try looking for two different peices of software- one to combine the streams (vid and radio) and one to stream them (MS media encoder should work)

I know there are pieces of software that will allow you to composite seperate feeds (say webcams) into a single output- this might allow you to combine the audio and video streams. Then stream that output off to wherever.

(I can't seem to locate the software I was using just now, but it exists!)

Just a suggestion!
 
Couple ideas...
1. Convert the PPT to WMV, then transcode the WMV and audio streams to a single video. Link that as the MMS stream.
2. Convert the PPT to WMV, then render two player objects within a webpage. Set one player to the WMV, and the other player to the audio stream. Manually link the two players' controls, so that seeking/stopping/pausing on one player also affects the other player.

Alternatively... If the same person providing the audio stream is also providing the PPT, then simply require that he/she give you a single video file that syncs the two in the way that he/she wants. Then post that single video file as a MMS link.

Edit: If you really want to be clever, you can automate the conversions and creations using the Powerpoint interops, a managed wrapper to FFmpeg, and some C#.
