OS - windows 7 x64, Browser IE 9, Flash player 11.6 or higher.
We have a user mode audio input driver (baslically, a WaveInput source) which we use to capture audio from our software as a microphone input in a flash player applet. (typically for streaming in a browser).
As of Flash Player 11.6 this device is no longer showing up in the microphone list in settings.
I monitored the browser using sysinternals' process monitor - it looks like you've changed the enumeration of devices by using the Core Audio API, and no longer parse the registry for older style devices. As a result, our virtual capture dirver doesn't show up.

-- also, It seems that flash player will work with directshow video capture filters, but doesn't seem to use directshow for audio capture. This would be our preferred way to do it.
Is this a known bug? Or was this an intentional change for security purposes (i.e. kernal mode drivers only)?
If I should post this to the bug database instead. please let me know.
Thanks.
