I haven't heard of Ekiga yet, will give it a shot sometime.

So far my Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 335's "Integrated webcam" worked
"under OI" with VirtualBox via USB passthrough into a Windows VM -
the image seemed okay. This is a Vimicro (something) camera.

Can't say much about sound (not that it is directly related to the
camera - provided by separate Realtek hdaudio): my microphone did
not work in OI for me, some driver accesses to it even blocked and
hung the test processes. Sound playback is okay in quality, but
very quiet (good enough for headphones, bad for built-in speakers).
