Additional Comments

Requires wininet.dll, installable with winetricks Streaming without a virtual desktop will stream the outlined area on whatever the active workspace is. Using a virtual desktop will confine the stream to the virtual desktop, even when switching the active workspace in GNOME. The best workaround I had for the audio source issue (in order to stream my game sounds and mic) was to set up two streams at two different sources, and in pulseaudio change one of the recording streams wine requests to a monitor, and leave the other stream on my mic.

HowTo / Notes

Rendering issues and how to live with them

Currently, the following are things to note:

  • Don't try to move around the window unless you have to, as this will cause the UI elements to go crazy.
  • Clicking the dropdown menus a couple of times will "fix" the gigantic black boxes they seem to create below them. 
  • Procaster can only be uninstalled via the shortcut on the start menu, not via "Add/Remove Programs"/"Uninstall Wine Software."
HOWTO

To get Livestream Procaster running a few native dll overrides are required, download winetricks by running the following code

wget http://winetricks.org/winetricks

Now use winetricks to install the required overrides

sh winetricks vcrun2008 wininet

Also, ksproxy.ax and ksuser.dll are required and they can be downloaded and installed using

wget http://download.microsoft.com/download/E/E/1/EE17FF74-6C45-4575-9CF4-7FC2597ACD18/directx_feb2010_redist.exe
cabextract directx_feb2010_redist.exe dxnt.cab
cabextract dxnt.cab -F ksuser.dll
cabextract dxnt.cab -F ksproxy.ax
mv ksuser.dll ksproxy.ax $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/windows/system32/
