Sorry, it is Flash Media Live Encoder, and it does its own encoding and
sends to a server like Red5 or Flash Media Server.

I was hoping to not have to use FMLE and instead something that can push
directly to ffserver.

Certainly I can feed the FMLE output to ffmpeg and then to ffserver but
then I'm just adding another component into the chain.

I was hoping to go directly to ffserver, if for example ffmpeg was able to
see the input video device.
