I am also have non-ekiga-specific trouble recording from USB webcams, e.g.

$ arecord -t wav -f cd -d 5 -D webcam > testing.wav

should record 5 seconds of sound from the PCM device called "webcam" that I have defined in my
.asoundrc file as:

pcm.webcam {
        type plug
        slave {
                pcm "hw:1,0"
        }
}

(sound card index 1). However, depending on the webcam, I either get 5 seconds of silence instead,
or arecord hangs, or it actually works in one case. There's definitely something funny going on...

Cheers,
Chris
