Look into "My Media Manager" on Zope.org. I meant to do that for a while now, but never got around to setting it up and giving it a try. From what I understand, it is a Zope interface to manage and publish media files (from media servers to begin with). Don't know what it works with. Yves Moisan Dieter Maurer wrote:

... I was thinking of running Zope behind Apache and get some other product to handle the streamed content. That way Zope serves content the usual way and the links to the streamed content points to the streaming media server software (all behind Apache, so it "looks" like it is coming from the same site).
Does this solution sound viable,
Sounds good.
and are there any suggestions on the software to use as the streaming server - preferably Linux, not too expensive and something that streams a well known format and which can work with Apache.
Quite some time ago, I read an article (in "IEEE Computer" or "Communications of the ACM") about streaming servers. The article claimed there were only too wide spread solutions: one was "Realaudio/Video", I forgot the other.
However, I remember that some frequent Zope poster worked with streaming media. Searching the archive may bring up name and email address ;-)
