So this is a issue for the snd-usb-audio author(s) I guess?

If it is too much a hassle, don't care. Since a mic may only be used once at a 
time I think it is not so important to have good sound server support for it, 
isn't it?

Ok, this is what syslog said:

alsa-util.c: Device hw:1 doesn't support 2 channels, changed to 1.

module-alsa-source.c: Your kernel driver is broken: it reports a volume range 
from -128.00 dB to -128.00 dB which
makes no sense.

alsa-util.c: Device front:0 doesn't support 44100 Hz, changed to 48000 Hz.

alsa-util.c: Cannot find fallback mixer control "PCM".

alsa-util.c: Device front:0 doesn't support 44100 Hz, changed to 48000 Hz.

socket-server.c: socket(PF_INET6): Address family not supported by protocol

socket-server.c: socket(PF_INET6): Address family not supported by protocol

Error opening PCM device front:Camera: Device or resource busy

module.c: Failed to load  module "module-alsa-source" (argument: 
"source_name=pawebcammic device=front:Camera rate
=16000"): initialization failed.
