If I must buy a new webcam then so be it. BUT ir did work perfectly
well with Skype, both before and after the change to use pulse audio.
And when I say 'work' I'm talking about Wheezy 64bit.
Hmmm, I would thought usblibs should have been installed already

So now I know the webcam model number.
As I said, the camera works, it is the mic that doesn't.
I tried my old Microsoft webcam - - it was even worse, no picture
nor and sound. It used to work but too tall to sit on top my
monitor, so a bought the slimmer LOchitech C210. I tried Another
Microsoft webcam that I inherited from my late father, it too
totally fails.
I'm thinking of buying a Logitech c920 - supposed to work on
Linux, but I doubt it - not until I have an explanation why
the c210 worked for two years on Mepis 12 (Wheezy), and doesn't
work on Debian 7.8.0.
