As far as hosted solutions go - these guys might be worth a look. There are plenty of code samples to get you started on their site. Anyone had any experience of them?

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...
