Direct flashplayer to flashplayer video streaming through webcam

Question

hi,

I would like to know if it's possible for flash to stream it's webcam directly to another computer without a flash media server in the middle, I want to build a highly scalable video system which basically logs people into the site, records their ip address and then when someone wants to chat to that person, connect the output from the webcam to the input of the flash video player and vice versa.

the idea being that they basically plug together, rather than a huge, expensive, bandwidth hungry server in the middle.

is it possible? I heard that flash can talk binary directly to sockets now, could this be a solution?
