SIP Client in Rails App

Hey,

do you think it could be possible to integrate a SIP or IAX client into a Rails app to use it for VoIP calls directly from the web page by clicking a link without having to download a 3rd party client?

Is there any other solution than an activeX control to access the microphone? Do you have made experience with a free minimalistic applet or activeX control?

I have no experience with this at all but I know Flash can access the microphone. Maybe a Flash/Flex solution would work.
