I think it is important to note that the title should have read "MP3.COM founder"... as my first impression was "the guy who helped invent the mp3 compression algorithm." That would be: Karlheinz Brandenburg.

Try to implement this and you will see that it's not as obvious as you think. It requires lots of reverse-engineering.

PS: please don't tell me about red5.

I meant the gist of it sounds obvious, that we now have this plugin on 98% of peoples' computers that can listen to the microphone and open sockets. Obviously the implementation is a very different story.
