Question : Can I capture mic data?

I was reading help.adobe.com about sampleDataEvent and it says this about capturing microphone.

Capturing Microphone audio Use the sampleData event to capture audio data from a microphone. When you add an event listener for the sampleData event, the Microphone dispatches the event as audio samples become available.

Does this mean I can capture audio from a mic and play it back?

      
          var soundBytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
 while(event.data.bytesAvailable)
 {
      var sample:Number = event.data.readFloat();
      soundBytes.writeFloat(sample);
 }

I guess it does. Here is the code.
