A new Steam beta update was released yesterday that adds support for streaming from Linux hosts.

The other changes in this release include support for NVIDIA ShadowPlay, which is hardware-accelerated OpenGL capturing. There's also AMD VCE hardware encoding of Direct3D games for Radeon GCN GPUs under Windows.
