CentOS - Oct 2010 - looking for a decent free / Open Source flash media server

Hi all,

I hope someone can help me with this one. I am looking for a decent
free / Open Source flash media server software which I can run on a
Linux server. Adobe's Flash Media Server
(http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/) is very expensive
and not within any reasonable cost range (R40K+).

The Fladh Media Server uses the RMTP

This is needed to run the following Joomla extension:
http://www.joomplace.com/live-conference/live-conference.html which
basically allows us to setup a Flash tutorial conference setup,
similar to podcasts.

We currently use CentOS Linux + cPanel, as well as CentOS + VirtualMin
but I'm open to suggestion for other control panels as well if need
be.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

I was about to suggest Red5 to you (and start a rant about it's  
install documentation...), but then I saw this:

I wish you good luck, and hope that you find a reasonable solution and  
share it with us... :)

Which if the servers listed here have you checked?

Red5 is being built by the same people who manage Openfire XMPP server, 
which is really nice.
