I had a QuickCam Pro 4000 hooked up for a while, and yes the 
microphone does work. The microphone was one of the things 
that seemed to be the least of my problems. One problem I 
ran into was that the microphone was detected but then my 
sound "card" stopped working. I had to mess around with 
the module configuration and initrd to get everything working 
automaticaly. Some things needed to be started before others 
but I can't remember for sure what order it was. The webcam 
broke and and have not replaced it.

Maybe it was old drivers, but I was never able to get better 
than 320x240 out of the 4000.
