Seems like it is or has been possible to use a v4l video device as webcam for
MSN (which probably isn't more a "hack" than Wine is); so maybe you should
try whether MSN sees it first?

Since he said he installed it under Linux, I assume he got it working for
native applications (probably using v4l). To Wine this means it wouldn't have
to access the USB device directly but translate between the v4l API and
whatever Windows applications expect instead. Not much different from how you
can use USB audio device in Wine using OSS or ALSA.
