Audio recording in Flex

[Elephantium]

I'm having trouble recording streaming audio from a Flex 3 app to Flash Media Server. Via other programs, I'm able to record audio successfully, so I ruled out the microphone itself as a culprit.

In my code, once the user clicks on the 'record' button, the following code gets executed (it's in a method in an AudioManager object).

The _audioStream is a custom AudioStream that extends the NetStream class.

public function recordAudio(filename:String):void {
	
	this._audioStream.addEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR, onAsyncError);
	this._audioStream.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, onNetStatus);
	this._audioStream.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, onSecurityError);
	this._audioStream.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError);
	
	this._isPublishing = true;
	this._isPlaying = true;
	
	//this._audioStream.recordAudio(filename);
	var mic:Microphone = Microphone.getMicrophone();
	trace("Microphone: " + mic);
	mic.rate = 22;
	mic.setSilenceLevel(1);
	mic.gain = 100;
	
	this._audioStream.attachAudio(mic);
	this._audioStream.publish(filename, "record");
}

I'm also setting appropriate event handlers (onNetStatus, etc). According to the NetStatusEvents, I'm successfully getting a stream, but when I speak into the microphone, the stream doesn't get any data.

Console output:

Start recording
NetStream.Publish.Start
NetStream.Record.Start
NetStream.Buffer.Empty
NetStream.Buffer.Empty
NetStream.Buffer.Empty
Stop recording
NetStream.Record.Stop
NetStream.Unpublish.Success

I'm really stuck - I can't think of any logical reason why the NetStream would silently fail to get data from the microphone Can anyone see something I missed?

1. How do you knoe stream doesn't get any data?
2. I'm really not sure about silence level and gain - why won't you leave them with default values, maybe the mic never publishes anything because of that. (I really don't know what exactly each one of them is supposed to do tho).
3. Are you sure, the microphone was found? (you don't show this in the output). Macs in particular tend to mess with the devices installed, they can sometimes show you a bunch of "virtual" web-cams and microphones as if they ware installed there...
