Yes I had forgotten that 0.9.4 was available.

Fire up VLC
File
Open Capture device.
A panel pops up and in the top right corner there is a capture mode
option. This should say Video for Linux 2.
Note if it does not and you cannot pick it then the uvc install is suspect.

Fill in your two devices  /dev/video0 /dev/dsp1
Note if you want the audio too please verify the device with cat
/proc/asound/cards

Press play( have a headset plugged in or the volume turned down)

> v4l1_compat            22404  2 uvcvideo,videodev

Yes, I have all those to. However, I use the application xawtv to check
for the device. I cannot get xawtv to work as a tv but the -hwscan
option is great to check the V4l2 device is there. It also confirms the
actual video device the camera is on.
