Support for audio on webcams

[Bill Davidsen]

This may be related to x86_64 install, but I'm told there's an issue in 
32 bit as well.

I have a webcam, Logitech laptop model, and I'm trying to capture to 
sound and audio.
This is a log when connected:

What I did on older versions of Fedora was to use the recording 
capability of xawtv. So I started that with device /dev/video2 (the cam 
with audio) and it gives no audio. It keeps looking for /dev/dsp 
(analog) even though docs say xawtv knows how to handle the new v4l2 
audio inputs. The only option for audio is -C and that is looking for an 
analog device.

So is there a trick to make this work, or is there another *simple* 
application to do a similar thing?
Ever since audio went digital it has been increasingly hard for non-guru 
users to use, and Pulse just adds to the complexity.
Tell me there's a simple application which just works the way they used to.
