Thanks for the reply and yes, that's another way to do it, I'll try it now to see how much can I get done :) My thing was that I wanted to stream the audio from 1 browser to another browser, the part of saving it on the server was just for test purposes. I tried starting with a stream from the browser mainly to liberate the server from needing to compress/encode/transform the audio in any way.
To get the MP3 stream I was trying to use the node-lame ( https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-lame) to encode the thing (it is in essence a Transform Stream), but I got stuck in the initial part of getting the stream audio to stream from the initial browser to the server and then to the other browser Is my plan very "wrong" or am I on the correct path?
