I have run into a problem with Flash player's handling of microphones --if I launch the program with a mic attached, then call Microphone.getMicrophone(), everything works fine; however, if I start out with no mic attached, then attach one while my program is still running, subsequent calls to getMicrophone() return null as if no mic were present. The only way I've found to gain access to the mic in this scenario is to restart the program. Not very friendly.
For debugging I added a button that pops up the Flash microphone settings panel... before plugging in the mic, the panel shows an empty device list as expected; after plugging in the mic, the panel reflects the change, with the mic name properly displayed in the device list. So evidently Flash understands that a new mic has been attached, yet for some reason that information is not getting through to getMicrophone(). Has anyone else run into this? Should this be reported as a bug? Am I being too picky?
