If the webcam is supported by Linux, then it should be possible to use 
VLC to view and stream it. Approach the test in two steps:
1) view locally using:
vlc -vvv 
v4l:/dev/video:norm=pal:frequency=543250:size=640x480:channel=0:adev=/dev/dsp:audio=0

2) stream to remote viewer
vlc -vvv 
v4l:/dev/video:norm=pal:frequency=543250:size=640x480:channel=0:adev=/dev/dsp:audio=0 
--sout 
'#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=3000,ab=256,vt=800000,keyint=80,deinterlace}:std{access=udp,mux=ts,url=192.168.0.42}' 
--ttl 12
