I'm pulling my hair out (once again), trying to find a way to read the activity level of audio of a NetStream, similar to how you can do it with a Microphone. I'd hate to have to let each client send it's activitylevel through SharedObjects or the like, which right seems to be the only way to actually get it to work.
Thanks so much in advance!

In AS3 the Netstream Object has a property called .info. This holds the object NetStreamInfo. NetstreamInfo will give you all sorts of metrics. Among them is the property 'audioBytesPerSecond' which will give you an indication of the audio activity at a certain point in time. Requesting the NetStreamInfo for the incoming stream will provide you with the data from the client. Requesting the NetStreamInfo for the outgoing stream will provide you data from your own cam and mic activity. More detail on the NetStreamInfo object can be found here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS3LCR/Flash_10.0/flash/net/NetStreamInfo.html
