A first version of a drupal module for the Vagipe webcam chat is at http://www.vagipe.com/vagipe_drupal.zip
Unfortunately the chat expects age and gender, which Drupal does not have in its user profile, so they need to be entered before entering the chat. There will be a chat applet not requiring this info to work better with drupal in the future.
If the chat is made available to unregistered users, then a username input box is displayed.
Feedback would be welcome. :-)

Another thing: I tested this
Another thing: I tested this with the latest production release of Drupal 5.x. Since I never did a module before, I can't say if it works with other versions. Though most of the functionality is on Vagipe. The module itself is quite simple and adapting it to other versions should be easy.
New version
There is a new version at http://www.vagipe.com/vagipe_drupal101.zip
It does not require age or gender anymore, so the ugly login box is gone and replaced by a simple button. If the chat is available for unregistered users, then there is still a box for the username.
Other options
By the way: There are other methods of implementing the Vagipe webcam chat, among them a google gadget. More info here: http://www.vagipe.com/free_chat_applet.php
Please always use the download link on that page, because the above one points to an outdated version and I cannot edit the first post.
I feel like I am talking to myself here. ;-)
The module is being used on a few sites now and seems to work well there.
I removed the more hardcore adult banner ads, since those are pretty inappropriate for most sites. There are still some mild adult ads in there though. Remember that this is not just a piece of software, but comes with a whole video server backend to distribute the high resolution webcam streams. Something's gotta pay for the servers and bandwidth. ;)
The webcam background picture is now more neutral, too, so it does not look like a dating chat anymore.
How can I set up Vagipe webcam?
Now I'm trying to find a module that can use webcam in Drupal. I installed your module and enabled it. But I don't know how to use it. Where can I find documents or help? Would you tell me how to set up this module? Thank you very much.

After you installed and enabled the module, you need to assign it to a block and then it should be visible and usable.
If you still have problems, e-mail webmaster@vagipe.com with the URL of the site where you tried to install it, and I'll take a look. I might need an admin login to your site to check the setup though.
The module download had been
The module download had been broken for a while. Sorry about that. The webcam chat module is available again now.
