Phew.

There is currently a space for them in MediaHandler (at least, the
interface there takes an 'index' argument).

Both the camera and the microphone effectively provide input data
streams (presumably on request from the core), just like NetStream does.
They can also be attached to MovieClips (or Videos?) like NetStream can.

By the way, see the definition of NetStream here:

for some interesting insights into how the pp implements it. It's much
more entangled with NetConnection than we have it.

It is known as "USB" and works for both microphones and cameras... 

However, at least for the standalone player on Linux this doesn't change
the available devices in Flash (though it does for real Linux
applications). I wouldn't be at all surprised if the behaviour were
different on Windows. The docs also describe devices being queried when
the get() method is called, I think.
