Macromedia uses third party software for VOIP, Spirit DSP. Here's  
something they sent me:

The Breeze Meeting launch process (off-topic, sorry) uses some  
undocumented ActionScript from a SWF to launch an application. This  
allows Breeze to do things that browser security generally prevents,  
like running their screen sharing and VOIP activex controls. As I  
recall, Breeze Meeting uses a desktop app that is basically a shell  
for IE (or WebKit on Macs) that plays the Breeze SWF file and also  
hosts the VOIP control.  The ActionScript will only launch an  
application that it downloads from a Macromedia web site. How's that  
for building a competitive advantage into your platform?

Plenty of other ways to make this work, though.
