I would be interested in such a thing too, but would it even be possible?

Correct me if I misunderstand, but ffserver doesn't 'know' what format 
video will be arriving in (ie it's not part of the .conf file), but it 
does know what format it has to go out in.  The input to ffserver comes 
from an ffmpeg instance which, presumably could be feeding anything in, 
could it not?

If I am wrong that would be great.  My setup is an HDV camera sending 
mpeg2 HDV via IEEE1394 to dvgrab at 18.6Mbps which pipes to ffmpeg which 
dumps to ffserver configured to stream an mpeg stream at 18.6Mbps. 
AFAIK it is still transcoding, though I have enough horsepower running 
it so as not to notice.
