Stream microphone to a server? Flash or Silverlight?

I'm looking to build an app, which will at least in part require audio streamed live from a client machine to a server. I'd ideally like to run a linux server, the rest of my app is written in Ruby, so bonus points for a Ruby-centric set up, and I would like to avoid the Flash Media Server and/or Red5 if possible. (It just seems like a lot of software that I'm not really going to use.)

Bottom line -- can I stream from Flash without using RTMP/RTMFP? If not, can I receive that in a Ruby-based app? Is this worth even attempting in Silverlight?
