how about changing the order of the soundcard with the webcam ? Just an
edit of /etc/modprobe.conf ought to set it straight. The webcam is mono,
right? But since it is loaded first, then I would think that it is the
default sound device, being pointed to by such things as OSS
as /dev/snd. It's a thought, trouble shooting with a shotgun. Ric
