That's a great webcam, isn't it? I bought one after I saw the Ubuntu
Podcast guys using one at the SOutheast Linuxfest.

For my Fedora 11 running Gnome on an Inspiron 1420, what works is

Sound In:    QuickCam Pro 9000
Sound Out:   HDA Intel (hw:Intel,0)
Sound Out:   HDA Intel (hw:Intel,0)

What Skype doesn't work is Pulseaudio, which makes me sad because
Pulseaudio makes it so easy to use my bluetooth headset.
