Currently using xawtv to capture video from my USB webcam, Works just fine. 
The only issue is that xawtv does not seem to capture audio from the same 
webcam. Ive read the man pages and there doesnt seem to be a switch to direct 
xawtv to source sound from the webcam. Was wondering if anyone can provide 
any advise. 

regards and thanks

You should have a look at the Wiki:

http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Webcams

Find out which driver your webcam is using, then find out if it supports
sound. I didn't deal with webcams in the last two years and don't know
what the current state-of-the-art is, but I think there are not many
drivers which support sound from a webcam.

Thanks,
Hans
