not really, I think Microsoft owns the format, therefore they license any projects which use that...

(it's actually answer to your question, IMHO)

Edit:
Oops, I'm not sure about streaming though... but why would you want to stream wma anyway?

No real good reason, just would like to be able to cover the format if possible, and curious if anyone has done so without slaving themselves out to Windows Media Server

I don't think its worth streaming in .wma at all. Windows Media Player plays regular .mp3 streams very well. Unless there is some kind .wma only player, .mp3 should work fine.

I wouldn't bother. Just stream it in MP3 for the best compatibility (just about every OS past AS400 will be able to read an MP3 stream SOMEHOW)
