Hi Cindy,


Our team here at Texas Tech has just finished developing a system built
around JPlayer: http://jplayer.org/

We have lots of custom programming around it to create a system appropriate
for our audio ETD collection and other streaming audio/video collections.
We call it the Streaming Audio & Video Experience (SAVE) and will be
releasing it open source in the next six months.

You might consider building your own system around JPlayer or consider
trying SAVE when it is released.
