I recently saw an experimental tool called Mozilla Rainbow
This tool enables the user to capture Video and Audio with HTML5 without Flash.
Sadly I couldn't test this extension because it's not supported in Linux.
I'm very interested in such implementation in Firefox.
thank you.

Re: Audio Capture on Firefox
Everything I've read says it should support audio recording on Linux. Though I can't test it because it doesn't support x64 yet (and I don't feel like taking the time to get it to build).
There have always been ghosts in the machine... random segments of code that have grouped together to form unexpected protocols. Unanticipated, these free radicals engender questions of free will, creativity, and even the nature of what we might call the soul...

Re: Audio Capture on Firefox
So the support is for linux 64bit only? that's odd.. I was under the impression that the vast majority still works on 32bit.

Re: Audio Capture on Firefox
Bluefang's post is saying (IIRC) that Rainbow only has 32-bit components, so it won't work in 64-bit Firefox, while it will in 32-bit Firefox.
It's advertised as having Linux support right there on the page you linked.

Linux: Video not supported, ALSA for Audio

As with the 0.3 release, 0.4 will not support streaming or Linux. But we're making steady progress on both fronts, look for more news on that soon!

I'm sorry but http://i.imgur.com/KJkiC.png
Doesn't work on Linux (I tried ignoring and installing the Windows version, and the Mac version later on, doesn't get the demos working)
