so for various reasons i wish to stream audio over my network and catch it and play it on my cellphone. I have read that VLC can do this.
I attempt to use the http variation, type in an address, stream it, and then i type that address into my phones web browser which is connected to my wifi, problem is it doesn't connect

im not sure what im doing wrong

Not true. VLC streams about any type of content/container you can think of. You just have to configure it to stream in a format that your remote device can understand. See the link above for help.

yah i know it can stream any format, but you have to have vlc on the device to capture it, from what i can understand. ive already read the guide, i need help understanding it/using it.
Ive tried to use the http: way but in the guide i was reading at the end it said to start up vlc on the second computer
so here's what that link says about http
Quote:
Stream in HTTP:
*
on the server, run:
% vlc -vvv input_stream --sout '#standard{access=http,mux=ogg,dst=server.example.org:8080}'
*
on the client(s), run:
% vlc http://server.example.org:8080
Transcode and stream in HTTP:
% vlc -vvv input_stream --sout '#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=800,ab=128}: standard{access=http,mux=ogg,dst=server.example.org:8080}'
For example, if you want to stream an audio CD in Ogg/Vorbis over HTTP:
% vlc -vvv cdda:///dev/cdrom --sout '#transcode{acodec=vorb,ab=128}: standard{access=http,mux=ogg,dst=server.example.org:8080}'
so...what i did was open vlc, click media, click streaming, click capture device,click stream, click next, click on http, click add, then in the box ive tried putting in http://server.example.org
and ive also tried per that guide using this % vlc -vvv input_stream --sout '#standard{access=http,mux=ogg,dst=server.example.org:8080}'
it doesn't really say where to do that so i just assumed there, well after my previous attempt failed that is.
so then i click stream and all seems well on the computers end, then i go to my phone, connect to my router, open browser, type in http://server.example.org and don't work, then per that guide ive tried % vlc http://server.example.org:8080 and nope don't work

you could just hook up something like Ampache or Subsonic..
http://ampache.org/
http://www.subsonic.org/pages/index.jsp
they are basically web apps you run on your own machine. they have native clients for iPhone and Android where you can control the stream remotely. its a million times nicer than tuning into a vlc stream.

if you're using windows or os x, you could use Orb -- i don't know if there is an n900 client app, but you could use the web interface.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

whoops after reading all the links i realized i think i worded my question wrong, i meant to say i wanted to stream "windows audio", like everything that comes out of my speakers. I can use tversity and stream media easily to my phone like that, but the problem is its only 'files' that you can stream, im fairly sure that vlc had the option to do that i just don't think its meant to stream to anything other than another vlc player on another computer. I tried making vlc stream to a file and then added that to tversitys play list but i don't think anything was getting recorded for some reason as the file ended up being blank with no audio
incase your wondering why im doing this, my speakers AND my dam sound card are blown
