[Laszlo-dev] Recording Speex audio & Sorenson Spark "type 0" video

[Max Carlson]

Wikipedia sez:
Because of some bugs in Flash Player, the first recommended version for 
Speex support is 10.0.22.87 and later.

See the docs here: 
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS3LCR/Flash_10.0/flash/media/Microphone.html
and
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS3LCR/Flash_10.0/flash/media/SoundCodec.html

Your best bet would be overriding the _makeDevice() method of 
av/microphone.lzx, e.g.:

<microphone>
   <method name="_makeDevice"><![CDATA[
     var dev = super._makeDevice();
     // dev is the microphone
     dev.codec = 'Speex';
   ]]>
   </method>
</microphone>

Even better, enhance the class with a codec attribute, so _makeDevice() 
does this automatically - then contribute it back to the platform! 
Please file an improvement request if you're not up to doing that.

Let me know how it goes!
