I have the exact same problem. Sometimes skype will work and sometimes
it will not. I get what appears to be a bad sampling rate in that people
hear my speech compressed on 90% of the test calls; it sounds like
Helium voice and is compressed in time; a ten second message comes
across in 3 or 4 seconds. When it does "work" it is still difficult to
understand my voice. The voice recording in Cheese works properly except
the sound quality is just awful. The webcam works in Cheese and on skype
pretty well. I just can't speak to anyone.

When in the sound settings, the microphone seems to work most of the
time, but sometimes it freezes and the volume control slider will not
respond, then the sound setting will not respond and I have to force the
process to end. I bought this specific webcam because it is listed on
your site as "working." At this point I would be interested in knowing
if ANY webcams work with 11.10 and which ones. Give me just one and I
will buy it.

Ubuntu 11.10, Acer AX3400. Logitech C310 webcam.  Pulseaudio
