How to add sound recording to a java based website - preferably a open source solution

Question

I need to add functionality to a website to allow users to record a short sound snippet with their microphone.

I understand that this is possible with flash - but is there a free solution?

Ideally I was hoping this could be achieved without using applets.

Does JavaFX or flex provide this functionality?

Thanks in advance.

You might want to check out the Java Sound samples here. I think you always need some 3rd party browser extension (flash, applet, silverlight, etc).
