Depends on what you/your customer wnats exactly.
Maybe check out Apple's Darwin Streaming Server:
http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/streaming/
"can both serve on-disk QuickTime, MPEG-4, and 3GPP files
and reflect live broadcasts". Apple claims it runs under
Red Hat, so it probably will compile under Debain as well.

It's "free" although incompatible with the GPL. See
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/apsl.html
