I have created an mp3 player with flash that sits on the webpage client side. This plays sound through the clients soundcard. I want to create an applet with JMF that will capture this sound on the way to the sound card. I then want to perform digital audio prcessing: to create an equaliser using fast fourier transforms.

I have been looking at the JMF API and have found several open source code showing how to capture sound from a microphone and save it. Would I have to do something similar to enable me to capture streaming sound from the web? Would this sound then be in a suitable format for processing?

Any help on capturing streaming sound, or sound playing through the sound card would be very much appreciated.

Thank you

Tom
