John:

I'm no expert, but you may have to use something like 'alsaconf' and 
look into your /etc/modprobe.d/sound file.  Try to run alsaconf when 
your camera is connected and see if it will set up the modules to load 
correctly regardless of whether your cam is connected or not.

On the other hand, you may also try your post on the debian amd list and 
also search this list for your related problem (eg. alsa, sound, etc).

HTH.
