A formalism for the evaluation of the intensity of photon and gluon
bremsstrahlung in QED and QCD condensed media is presented which
considers general interactions beyond the Fokker-Planck approximation,
the angular distribution of the final particles and admits finite or
structured target calculations. The Fokker-Planck results of
Migdal/Zakharov and the BDMPS group are recovered under the adequate
approximations as particular cases. Weinberg's soft photon theorem is
shown to saturate the LPM suppression in the soft regime. The angle
integrated intensity under realistic screened interactions is always
larger than the Fokker-Planck evaluation and the changes can not be
accounted for by a single definition of the medium transpor
