Well, depending on the QuickCam you need to use one of like seven different drivers. My QC for Notebooks uses the gspca driver. Ether way, you need to make sure you have the Video 4 Linux kernel modules installed too, which is the underlining control system for cameras and frame grabbers. ALSA takes care of the USB mike.
From there, there's many programs that'll do "shot-per-second" or something similar. MPlayer can display it. I'm not sure about ffmpeg itself, but VLC seems to be the best I've found so far using Microsoft's Media Server protocol -- to Linux boxes, and the lag is horrendous.
