Comparing the two dmesg logs, I'm under the impression that in the
second case (the newer kernel), the hda driver kicks in and creates a
sound device before the usb audio driver does. Hence, the default card
changes and you're recording from your internal sound card rather than
the Webcam.

Could you please send the output of 'aplay -l' in both cases?
