sure you can. you would have to write your own mp3 encoder and you would have to 
think about how to get the raw audio data before you encode it, but its entirely 
possible.

of course if its an online app and you want the user to be able to download the 
mp3 you'll have to send it to the server and then they download it again, which 
in my opinion is a bit pointless, better to write some server code to render the 
audio..

but, it really depends on what you need to do.

i dont think you can get access to the audio data from the mic so you cant 
capture that in the player and encode it to mp3, you would still need to send it 
to a server (red5 / FMS / wowza etc) and then deal with it (i still dont know if 
the recently suggested ffmpeg flv / nellymoser codec works)

unfortunately the whole audio side of flash is severely lacking, its my major 
complaint about the player and i've been complaining for years ;)

hopefully player v10 will change that..i keep hoping.. :)
