You can't really call it cross browser when it doesn't support browsers that don't have getUserMedia.

You had me excited for a second there because something like this with a flash fallback mechanism would be really, really useful.

addy osmani has coded https://github.com/addyosmani/getUserMedia.js which has a flash fallback, but the thing is that the flash fallback still needs you to implement a complete different logic then getUserMedia, so it's far from a perfect solution.

i raised the issue here https://github.com/addyosmani/getUserMedia.js/issues/2#issue... (and suggested a possible solution), but for this we would need the help of a flash megamind-ninja.

That's great, I might actually be able to use this to significantly improve a certain project I am working on.

It would be really nice to have it using the same API, but yeah, it would be really tricky to actually pull it off.

Then again, I heard about gifsockets (http://github.com/videlalvaro/gifsockets) earlier today, so I guess anything is possible!
