Interesting. WinDV is simply a data transfer of the DV file data from the tape to the computer. It should either "work" or "not work". If you have audio quality issues after a WinDV capture, I would think that the problem is baked in to the tape (as evidenced by the dropouts you are hearing when you monitor the composite audio).
You can't capture analogue audio with WinDV.
I don't know what program you've used for the audio info but Mediainfo gives me this for one of my DV-AVI files:

What I'd do:
-try another WinDV capture with the other audio "Type";
-try to access another MiniDV camera and try that (you seem to have had the same issue with all your tapes so it could be either this camera or the recording cam; a test with a third-party cam would confirm where the problem lies);
-record the analogue/RCA audio only (computer/Line In) and, in Vegas, match that with the already-captured video.
