If you want to use avconv

Find video device

 ls /dev/video*

suppose video0

2- Find audio device

 arecord -l

suppose output like this

 card 1: U0x46d0x8ad [USB Device 0x46d:0x8ad],........

Then the audio device would be:

plughw:U0x46d0x8ad,0

Capture video and audio:

avconv -f video4linux2 -r 25 -i /dev/video0 -f alsa -i plughw:U0x46d0x8ad,0 -ar 
22050 -ab 64k -strict experimental -acodec aac -vcodec mpeg4 -y webcam.mp4

If you want to try some GUI apps:

1.Camorama Webcam Viewer

To install it:

sudo apt-get install camorama

2.GTK+ base UVC Viewer
