Just to verify Noldorin's answer 'officially' -- it is currently NOT possible in Silverlight 3 as a plugin only. This (webcam/mic) is something we're exploring for Silverlight future versions and is a highly requested feature.

It's certainly not on the What's New list for Silverlight 3, which is a complete listing of significant new features in the latest version. This would with little doubt seem to indicate the answer is no, it's not possible.

Indeed, audio (and video) recording is a feature that's been highly desired since the release of Silverlight 2, and is one of the very few respects in which Silverlight is found lacking when compared to Flash. I would imagine it's quite likely to be added as a feature of Silverlight 4, if it keeps getting the high demand from developers. I'm not sure why Microsoft hasn't bothered yet; perhaps it is simply not high on their priority list, or they're worried about the security issues (though Flash has resolved this quite well).
