Which logitech?  I have a 4000 Pro running with version 9 of the pwc +
pwcx driver. Depending on the model and kernel used, you will use
different drivers.  Which model do you have?  If you have access to a
linux desktop, there is a command lsusb which will list all devices
attached to the usb bus.

Google for an app called mvc.  It's a very simple but functional
motion detector + snapshot taker.  There is also a more complex
program called motion.  I'd start with mvc for a first hack.

That means that the hotplug system cannot find a module ('driver') for
that card.  You need to recompile the kernel to include usb sound
support and the specific model of usb sound card you have....
