Connecting the webcam directly with usb pass-thru will never work well because of timing issues.
Too much USB packets dropped and image that cannot be formed. If you want to use it, use the qemu-v4l2 patchset posted two months ago in the list. It's still experimental but will give you image if your webcam is supported.
