Macromedia uses third party software for VOIP, Spirit DSP. Here's something they sent me: SPIRIT DSP.  We make an embedded VoIP conference engine. It handles an unlimited number of conference participants while cancelling out noise, echoes and speech drops. Our highly efficient algorithms enable 80M+ channels and are embedded into 200+ products including Macromedia Breeze 5 and Oracle Collaboration Group 10g. The Breeze Meeting launch process (off-topic, sorry) uses some undocumented ActionScript from a SWF to launch an application. This allows Breeze to do things that browser security generally prevents, like running their screen sharing and VOIP activex controls. As I recall, Breeze Meeting uses a desktop app that is basically a shell for IE (or WebKit on Macs) that plays the Breeze SWF file and also hosts the VOIP control.  The ActionScript will only launch an application that it downloads from a Macromedia web site. How's that for building a competitive advantage into your platform? Plenty of other ways to make this work, though.
