Did the webcam work as an audio device under squeeze?
I've just tested on a machine still running squeeze and audio capture works fine.
Can you test whether this is still broken in Linux 3.8 (from unstable)?
I've installed linux-image-3.8-1-amd64 3.8.12-1. It didn't produce the same behaviour immediately. I'll continue using this kernel for the time being.
Audacity had trouble seeing the device (initially it was visible, after fiddling with input volume it wasn't). However, other applications could set the input volume and record from it. I don't know what criteria Audacity uses so this may be an irrelevant bug in Audacity!
