Internal Webcam Microphone causes black screen, and application locks up.

[Scott O'Nanski <s onanski gmail com>]

When using my webcam's (Microsoft Life Cam) integrated microphone as an
audio recording source while recording video with Cheese, the
application (Cheese) locks up, and the Cheese video window goes black.

Does anyone know what causes this? Or if there's a fix?

Maybe it's not simply a Cheese issue per say - when I use guvcview, and
select the integrated mic as an audio recording source, the audio
becomes out of sync with the video - playing faster.
