not yet.  Update:  on the PAE kernel, the video is all set.  I can use:
ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -s 320x240 -r 5 -i /dev/video0 -f m4v out.m4v

to create suitable video file.  For audio, I can start Audacity 
recording, start ffmpeg command, and then edit audio file.  I will now 
find a suitable command to combine and sync audio file with video file.  
This is klutzy, but should make for backup approach, until I figure out 
how to manually load module, uvcvideo.ko and achieve success for sound.
