My main responsebilty at work is to write web apps, and you will need to
learn quite a bit before you are qualified to even think about someone
else's insecurities.

BTW, this list is not about web app programming. This list isn't even
about softphones outside of the asterisk code base. So no, I wasn't
cutting the person up, but rather trying to cut off the thread before it
devolved away from our primary topic.

The web browser itself shouldn't allow access to the sound card,
especially in a recording sort of way. That will probably always be
directly off limits for security reasons. Now the downloading and
running of some other application that happens to be controlled by the
web browser, might happen, and I think has happened. Of course that
doesn't get you around the many different versions of Windows
incompatibilities, linux distros, *bsd systems, Mac, and what ever.
