Hi Michael,
The bit I wrote about changing the default sample rate completely solves the 
Mickey Mouse voice which you are suffering from. When I saw this I decided to 
buy the webcam, but I think that was a mistake. I had a simple webcam for 1/3 
of the price which worked fine every time. A friend of mine convinced me to buy 
the "better" camera and then I discovered the microphone was totally 
unreliable. When it worked at all, the voice was correct, but it wouldn't 
reliably give me a voice (at all). The camera part gives a nicer picture, but 
the microphone, which works with pulse audio, is a disaster.

The simple webcam also had a built in microphone but it didn't use pulse
audio. It worked well all the time. What I had to test was Chicony
ICAM8124. I'm sure any simple webcam will work. Just these "super duper,
pooper scoopers" have problems. The simple ones don't use pulse audio.

Ilan
