Seshu,

Please take a closer look at 
<http://www.live.com/liveMedia/#testProgs>.  There are several programs 
there that you can use to evaluate and understand the software.  In 
particular, I suggest looking at "testMP3Streamer" and "testMP3Receiver".

Also, for streaming from a WAV audio file, you can use the 
"testWAVAudioStreamer" test program.  Note, though, that this has a 
built-in RTSP server (and so you'll need a RTSP client to receive this 
stream).  The reason for using RTSP in this case is that some of the stream 
parameters - sampling frequency and RTP payload format - can vary, 
depending on the type of audio that's in the WAV file, and RTSP is the best 
way to convey these parameters to receivers.
