I had a quick look in the source code. Here is the spot it fails in 
OpenVideoDev()

     if( p_sys->i_audio >= p_sys->vid_cap.audios )
     {
         msg_Dbg( p_input, "invalid audio, falling back with no audio" );
         p_sys->i_audio = -1;
     }

I guess for some reason VLC doesn't detect the audio capabilities 
correct, which results in ignoring the audio all together. Could you set 
a specific bitrate for the audio on your commandline, or hack the source 
to ignore this check? Just to test.
