I know he was talking about the audio, but my critique works both about flash in general and about audio support in particular.

ELEVEN YEARS ago Flash was already capable of both playing and recording audio from multiple sources, using several different codecs and offering the usual bells and whistles you're expected to find in any multimedia framework (vis.eq., channels, etc). And everything working exactly the same way in every browser equipped with a flash player.

And I'm taking eleven years ago because that's when AS3 was released. Flash had considerable audio support before that anyway.
