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.

Currently, the following are things to note:
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/
