[ubuntu-uk] Which webcam?

[Ian Pascoe]

Err, this is a bit of a daft question but having never used one before ....

The web cam does the pictures, but what about the sound?  I presume that a
web cam is like a normal domestic video cam in that it takes both pictures
and sound, combines it into a suitable transport protocol and then sends it
wherever required?

Alternatively, if there's a fool's guide to web cams point me in that
direction and I'll read up on it!

Cheers
