I just managed to get the mic working built into the camera.
I followed the Sound steps below that are included in pkg-message and
that did the trick.
Hopefully these notes will help others having mic problems with the
Logitech camera.
NOTE: Just before I followed the below steps I did recompile my kernel
to include "snd_hda" support.
After I finished that task I did try Skype and it did not work.
I mention this just in case if someone is troubleshooting such a
problem and "snd_hda" might be needed.
Thanks to all the helped,

Since the OSS interface was removed, Skype now uses linux-alsa compat
packages.
By default you get one device corresponding to your default OSS dsp
device (so
Skype will use it for ringing, incoming voice and mic). If that
doesn't suit
needs, you can map the other dsp devices for example by editing
/compat/linux/etc/alsa/pcm/pcm-oss.conf. You need to (re)start Skype
after you
edit this file in order to get Skype pick up the changes.
Adding the following to the stock file, and then starting Skype and
choosing
in Options-->Sound Devices: Speakers: oss1
will let you use the second dsp (usually the front panel connectors
for your
headphones, while still hearing the call ringing and other
notification on the
first dsp device (presumably the one you connect your speakers to).
pcm.oss1 {
type oss
device /dev/dsp1
hint {
description "Open Sound System"
}
}
ctl.oss1 {
type oss
device /dev/mixer1
hint {
description "Open Sound System"
}
}
Alsa was the death of me in linux - a real PITA. That and selinux...
Such a hack to get anything with alsa to work; I thought even linux had
given up on it?
