Chrome's introduction of PepperFlash was just horrible.

They opened with a massive bug that crashed every webcam recording service on the internet.

When they fixed that they crashed for every service that displayed sound volume for multiple microphones.

That bug they fixed by just not giving volume feedback for microphones at all.

Sadly enough, HTML5 video recording will be quite a while out still since you'd need a reliable server to capture the stream, but none of the major provider (FMS, Wowza, Red5) have any plans for WebRTC support so far.

You can go for Lynckia, but that's about as unproven as you can get...
