How to stream audio via MinimServer from the sound card inputs on a local PC?

It appears that VLC, for one, can take the output of a "capture unit", like a sound card, and make that available as a stream, and the stream formats/types available in VLC seem to include HTTP.
Could mimimserver serve that up, or must the renderer know about HTTP streams?

A .m3u playlist can include entries for HTTP network streams. You would need to find the HTTP URL that VLC is using to serve the audio and add this URL to a .m3u playlist file in your music library. MinimServer would read the .m3u playlist file and make the network stream available in the "# playlists" section of your library for browsing and selection. Everything else is handled by the normal UPnP protocol between the server, the control point and the renderer.
