There isn't any SDK that I'm aware of for implementing some generic/custom
streaming server. There is Helix (google search for more information--I
believe real player as well as a few other entities use it), but I don't
know much about the actual API or how customizable it is.

AFAIK, there is no streaming media server SDK provided by MSFT beyond the
one you claim doesn't meet your needs. You might look at the WMFSDK, which
has both reader and writer objects that are capable of sending and receiving
streams via HTTP. One WMWriter instance can have multiple sinks--including
file, network, and custom sinks. You might be able to use the WMReader and
WMWriter objects in a generic enough way, although I don't know if they meet
the media requirements for your project.

Can you tell us a bit more about what you're doing, the media types you're
streaming, etc?
