It's not linux, but my company makes a box to do what you're wanting: http://www.newtek.com/tricaster/
Does live switching, effects, and can stream to the web at the same time you're feeding a live video output and recording to hard-disk.
It also just got nominated for a 2005 Technical Emmy Award!
Our box takes regular video inputs. Be careful if you want to use DV inputs, you'll need to watch your cable lengths (make sure you can run a DV signal from your camera to the switcher and get it to work *BEFORE* the day of your broadcast!), and AFAIK, you'll burn additional CPU cycles to decode the DV stream in order to be able to re-encode it at the much lower resolution & bitrate you'll probably be streaming.
