I'm looking for a solution for capturing audio from a user's microphone and posting it (preferably as MP3) to a server. I need something that I can embed in a web page.
I've seen where Flash can do this, but I understand that this approach requires expensive server-side software from Adobe. I'm not aware of whether Silverlight may provide any capabilities to assist with this.
I'm curious what others have done. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

One of the best ways to record audio on a website is to use a Chrome Extension like Audio Capture. This tool can be easily installed on the browser, ready to use whenever you need to record audio on any tab. It also allows you to mute all other tabs to avoid accidently recording them as well.
You can use Screen Capture (an online grabber), Audacity (a desktop recorder), or Windows Voice Recorder (a built-in Windows app). If you need to record not just audio but also screen or webcam, try Movavi Screen Recorder. It's an advanced desktop program that has many useful recording features.
A great way to record streaming audio online is to use a free online recording tool like Screen Capture. This web recorder lets you record audio on your device, ranging from short snippets and clips right up to lengthy music sequences.
You can do it with Flash and either Red5 or haXeVideo or the server, both Open Source. Regarding offering a final MP3 to the user, you will need something else because these 2 tools only record to FLV format due to the licenses needed to encode MP3s. You can use something on the server such as FFMPEG for the transformation, but still, read the small print regarding MP3s.
Good luck
