I did some tests with 2 different USB Webcams. To sum up, USB passthrough didn't work but webcams abstraction from virtualbox worked for the logitech one

I just needed to add the SMAP setting in the /etc/system file Nice splash and "About" screen. One thing to notice is that the Guest addition ISO is only offering Solaris version and the ISO itself is rather small compared to the VBox Windows version. I'll do some test using USB passthrough later on.
