Hi Rene,

> does the face tracking of the Sphere MP work with the linux-uvc driver?

Face tracking is a pure software feature. It would work under Linux with any 
webcam if it was actually implemented as a user-space application. I'm not 
aware of any such project, but I know the needed building blocks are 
available in OpenCV, the Intel computer vision library.

As a matter of fact, the "Advanced Video FX Engine" for Creative webcams 
implements face tracking with OpenCV. The Creative Live! Cam Voice Windows 
driver includes an open-source XML data file which could be used as a 
starting point if anyone with some image processing background is interested 
(it might be part of the official OpenCV package, I don't know about that).
