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

[David Nault]

Thanks Max. Do you need to do anything special to get the Flash 10  
version of the Microphone class? Right now I'm using lzc (pagan- 
deities) with "-runtime=swf8" and the object returned by "_makeDevice"  
doesn't seem to have a "codec" property. Debug.write("codec:",  
dev.codec) prints "codec: undefined" and assigning the value "Speex"  
doesn't have the desired effect). Flash player 10,0,32,18.
