FMS is Flash Media Server - you need this to record audio and video from
Flash to the Server.

You can download a free development version to test with - with the old
versions, you could use this for upto 5 connections at once (I think).
There are open source alternatives such as Red5 which do the same thing:
http://osflash.org/red5
Documentation has improved marginally, but it can be obscure unless you
get lucky and install a working version straight away...
It's can be a PITA to setup if it does not work straight away - tricky
to find any decent instructions relevant to your OS, but apart from
that, to record basic audio & video stuff it's pretty easy (there are
example apps on the system).
You can join the Red 5 mailing list - make sure you post on this one
rather than the normal OSFlash list if you want answers :)
The alternative might be to use a "hosted" system where the ISP provides
the media server application, probably with basic applications that let
you record stuff.
Flash 10.1 should allow you to get the audio from the microphone of the
computer (not sure about access to the webcam directly), but you would
still possibly need server side code to record...

Can you explain what job the FMS would do please? Is this required for the
recording side of things or the playback?

this something that can be done using the flash player alone? I have no
restrictions on the version of Flash to create this with/for.
It could be done with the new fp 10.1 that is in beta, but it would be
crap and suck. You need FMS on the server if you are even remotely
serious about this. FMS can take care of all the medis recording and such.
