[OSS] Quickcam Pro not recognized

Hi

I've just installed OSS4. sound playback works perfectly but i have a problem to make my quickcam pro 5000 recognized.
I'd like to use it for audio capture (microphone) in skype.

$ lsmod | grep oss
oss_usb               111116  7 
oss_cmpci              24048  9 
osscore               537876  6 oss_usb,oss_cmpci
usbcore               136848  9 oss_usb,uvcvideo,usbhid,usblp,usb_storage,ndiswrapper,uhci_hcd,ehci_hcd

$ ossinfo -v3
(USB sound device rec              /dev/oss/usb046d08ce-1/pcmin0 ) (device index 2)
    Legacy device /dev/dsp2
    Caps: TRIGGER MMAP 
    Modes: INPUT  
   ******* DEVICE NOT PLUGGED IN *******
    Input formats (0x00000010):
      AFMT_S16_LE    - 16 bit signed little endian
    Output formats (0x00000010):
      AFMT_S16_LE    - 16 bit signed little endian
    Device handle: USB-usb046d08ce-1-au01
    Related mixer dev: 1
    Sample rate source: 6
    Preferred channel configuration: MONO
    Supported number of channels (min - max): 1 - 1
    Native sample rates (min - max): 16000 - 16000 (16000)
    HW Type: Not indicated.
    Minimum latency: Not indicated

Had you can see, ossinfo -v3 tell me that "******* DEVICE NOT PLUGGED IN *******"

Does anyone knows how to resolv this problem?

OSSv4 has very poor support for USB microphones. I have a QuickCam for Notebooks and it does not recognize it. Your particular microphone may be on of the few supported, but usually threads at their site end with no solution found.

You can try their forums. Maybe someone there got that particular mic working:

Mind you that built-in microphones in webcams usually suck .... a lot. They pickup all kinds of noise which can be a big nuisance to the person on the other side.
I have a usb logitech headset and luckily it is recognized by oss but only if it is plugged in _before_ I start oss (i think).
