This is a videobooth app that works nice and is affordable for what I'm using it
I've had a look at their website. Seems nice. No info about audio. So, no answer on how they record with external mics and if they can use more than one mic.

Your Logitech Webcam has an audio setting in it's control panel named "RightSound". Was that on or off?
The set of 2 mics are looking nice but what after I bought it? What should it do then? I can mount it and connect it but what are the settings I have to make?
See above. Have a look at your video software and/or manual. It seems to support external mics, but I have a feeling they are talking about USB mics. And it's not at all easy to get 2 USB mics working simultaneously on Windows.

You could also ask the manufacturer. Send them a mail?
@kozikowski: you ask Cryano probably? I do not understand all of it so ... hope to find the solution over here, thx
@Koz: there was talk of software. No software without computer, me thinks.

And I'm not sure the Windows driver for the Sony PS3 Eye has four separate streams, or some processed mono/stereo stream. But it's cheap enough (less than 10$ NOS) and the driver for Windows is only 3$, so anyone willing to experiment could brew something with it. The quality is fairly good. I've seen people using these (on embedded Linux) for spacial/acoustics measurements. I wanted to play with these myself, but I've never seen a working OSX driver. And even the Linux one is quite hairy.

There is a quite recent Windows/OSX driver here:

No installable binaries, I'm afraid.

I don't know that one. AFAICR it wasn't around when I played with the idea.
