To your first question I think that if the sound works on FC, it 
automaticly works in VMWare, you don't have to manually direct it.

In regard to your second question I can tell you that VMWare doesn't 
(yet??) support isochronous usb support, so sadly enough a webcam (no 
matter which one, perhaps older, serial ones???) won't work. Stubborn as 
I am :) I have tried it with the same cam as you have under a win2000 
virtual machine, it will let you install the software, will even  'see' 
the cam, but that is about it. This is not a FC problem, but a (major) 
lack in VMWare, which people on the VMWare site have been asking a lot 
for, but still isn't implemented.

Kind regards, Angelo
