Thanks Lisa,
I had looked at most of those references, but your link:
http://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/issues/detail?id=785&q=tunneling&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Component%20Summary
to Issue 785 (and specifically comment 12) seems the most definitive
answer. It also contains a link to a purported workaround:
http://sourceforge.net/p/rtmp2rtmpt/home/ which I cannot try as I am now at
home (where the port is not blocked).
I can't get this R5U870 webcam to work right with Flash anyway. It works
fine with Cheese, but ...
Anyway, Thanks again.

The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions,
that I wish it always to be kept alive.
