Ask HN: Online video streaming solutions? (Justin, Ustream...)

We will setup a small studio from which we'd like to broadcast live video/audio to the net. Video should be embeddable on our page, and quality of transmission should be 'good' for a certain value of good (audio being of most importance - since we'll stream live music performances). Chat room along with stream would be a plus. We have no idea of the audience size, but we will stream often (probably 5-10 or more hours per day).

First I looked at justin.tv but I couldn't find ANY information apart from some vague partner page, no pricing, no additional info, no nothing. Maybe I missed something, because we would be a semi-pro setup, not a regular Joe streaming his cat online. So I'm not sure if I could do this at all through justin.tv or not.

Then I looked at ustream, it looks great - there is embedding, there is ustream producer pro, etc... but prices are definitely out of our range. This is something we would do without profit and I may have a budget for it about couple of hundred dollars per year.
