Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: vlc

Trying to capture video from a webcam, I found that

vlc alsa://

will play sound, and

vlc v4l2://

will play video. Getting both together however does not seem to work.
Various tutorials suggest

vlc v4l2:// --input-slave alsa://

however, that gives only video. Similarly,

vlc alsa:// --input-slave v4l2://

only plays audio. Specifying the alsa device, alsa://hw:0,0 does not
change the behavior, neither does recording to disk instead of
immediately playing.

Googling led me to a forum post,
http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=62027 describing the same
problem, however, the oss fallback is oblolete with maverick, if I'm not
mistaken.
