I did get the microphone to work after the ia32 libs were installed.
(not quite sure why...)
But, the sound quality from the mic is pretty bad...
Concerning the webcam...

A Logitech QuickCam is plugged into a USB port.
We need the vendor and device ID, see the output of "lsusb".

Nothing I have tried will bring up the webcam.
That statement does not help at all; what did you try already?
I tried configuring Ekiga, and it could find no video (/dev/video0) device.
I tried using VLC and accessing the v4l capture device (/dev/video0) and it
sent the app's UI into a blinking frenzy.
So I tried a few commands:
====
# v4l-conf # This one I just ran over a VNC connection from the office to
home... So the X-display is :1.0...
v4l-conf: using X11 display :1.0

It looks like /dev/video0 should be there and be functional...
Any help is greatly appreciated,
