Uh, this is flash.

The jQuery and JS parts play only minor roles.

I know that. I'm asking if anyone has seen a similar unobtrusive Flash widget that provides a JavaScript API for accessing audio input.

UPDATE: After a bit of searching around, it looks like there are no convenient APIs within the Flash player itself for recording audio to any kind of object that could then be uploaded - instead, you need to have an open network connection to either Flash Media Server or Red5 (the open source equivalent) and then get the server to encode to MP3.
