Webcam on Ubuntu, part II

Although I can load the quicktime module I built and can get the webcam to work, loading the module at system startup results in things going haywire. Here's what I see in dmesg:

[4296518.087000] quickcam [52.080121]: failed qc_capt_get()=-90
[4296518.087000] quickcam [52.080128]: failed qc_v4l_read()=-90
[4296518.111000] quickcam [52.104330]: submit ISOC_URB 0 failed

[4296518.111000] quickcam: unable start isoc

When I remove and reinsert the module:

[4296548.265000] quickcam [22.253775]: ----------LOADING QUICKCAM MODULE------------

[4296548.362000] usbcore: registered new driver quickcam

Hmm. At least /dev/video0 works after that. What must I do to get the microphone to work?
