Ok. On this host, I'll go the lazy way. It HAS to work tomorrow. We 
wanted to do it with laptops and firewire cams, but the result is a
little bit disappointing. It works with a little Sony Handy Cam but
doesn't with a big Canon XL1 (I'm not sure of the number). And the
result is fully different on different laptops :

Dell Inspiron 8100 : rather good, but the oblique lines make steps
and the movements are not as fuid as with the analog link.

"Old" Sony Vaio : didn't work at all. 

Brand New Pentium M Centrino Vaio (don't remember the model) : 
image rather good. Big problems with the sound.

Asus M2400N : poor image. Sound, I don't know. We decided to
go composite or S-Video... 

Unfortunately, we bought the last Soundblaster Live tonight and I
cannot build the second host with the same card. I will try with
old SBs I have in my drawers and see if they're full duplex.

The only other new one I have here is a Creative SB Audigy 2. But
I know nothing about this card. I'll check google while Redhat
is installing.

Thank you for your great job.
