What's your definition of *peer to peer*? You could use WebRTC to implement
a client-to-client communication endpoint, use Websockets or even go
barebone tcp sockets.

WebRTC needs a signalling server for discovering your peers, but after the
initial handshake it is a fully p2p connection. TCP sockets are similar but
you would have to implement a sort of protocol yourself and it's a major
burden to connect two clients when behind a NAT or such. Websockets are the
easiest but data has to go through the server before reaching a client.
This means that there's more latency than the first two options. In theory
that would be something like 100-150ms latency in quasi-optimal conditions.

You could record the microphone's audio with the Media Plugin
http://plugins.cordova.io/#/package/org.apache.cordova.media , encode it in
real-time in base64/base128 or binary, and decode it on the receiver. This
would add some latency though and you might want to use native
calls/plugins for the decoding part at least.

I haven't looked up for the video part, but it shouldn't be too difficult
to build a plugin which gets the camera feed. When that part is done you'd
proceed in the same way of audio transmission.

There is a plugin which makes it possible to get the camera preview from
within a Phonegap app: https://github.com/donaldp24/CanvasCameraPlugin You
could encode each frame and send it as a continuous video stream by
decoding it on the other side.
