Hi,

The driver of a USB device is easily found looking at
        /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.usbmap

So, your driver is gspca_zc3xx. Then, this module uses the gspca
framework, i.e it calls functions of the module gspca_main. This last
one calls functions of the common video module videodev. Then again, if
v4l1 compatibility is enabled, videodev calls functions of v4l1_compat.

lsmod shows all that directly:

Module              Size   Used by
gspca_zc3xx        55936   0
gspca_main         29312   1   gspca_zc3xx
videodev           41344   1   gspca_main 
v4l1_compat        22404   1   videodev

Regards.
