Actually, being a 24/7 camarades user, I believe that it does have an audio option. It's also a bit of a system hog, and will fill the viewers' cache with jpgs, something my regular viewers both love ("hey, lots of pics of chicky with no effort required to get them!") and hate ("Hey, my computer is filled with pics of chicky!". Depending on your settings on Camarades, you can choose not to list your cam in their directory, and you can embed it into your company webpage if you're feeling adventurous.
Another option that can be looked at would be Webcam32. It comes bundled with a lot of webcams these days from what I understand; none of my cams came with anything more than the standard cam software. Easy to configure, supports multiple cams, and has an audio option. It's not too expensive (for those of you who are into paying for software).
Another option would be Ivista. It's more expensive than Webcam32 if you want anything more than streaming video, requires that the computer running it have some form of webserver on it, and can be somewhat flakey with different video sources and webservers. It also offers multiple video sources (for an extra fee, of course) and motion detection.
Neither software package requires a plug-in in order to view the video; however, since I don't stream audio out of my bedroom, I'm not sure what is required for that feature. I believe it's only a java applet, but don't hold me to it. Personally, I prefer Webcam32, since there's a lot more options you can screw around with, like a personal logo displayed on the stream, more flexible captions, etc.
... my department figured out we were being canned only after we got the next year's budget out of the company vice president's computer and discovered that our department wasn't listed on it.

Now I can stop sketching on scrap paper at work.

I use an x-10 quite frequently (most fun out of all my cams), and it doesn't seem to pick up any interference.
