Ivan,
The new version of VLC(0.9.3) now supports V4L2, WITH sound.
So you could test with that.
I am currently running SUSE 10.3 and have noticed two other problems,
which may/not apply to Ubuntu.
1) My /dev/video0 simply disappears. I have not reported it yet because
I cannot find the circumstances to recreate it. I have bypassed it by
adding it to the boot.local script.
2) After I have rebooted and run xawtv -hwscan to see if this
/dev/video0: OK [ -device /dev/video0 ]
type : v4l2
name : UVC Camera (046d:08c1)
flags: capture
is there, it is not.
If I do a lsmod I get the normal things like
v4l2_common 20608 2 uvcvideo,videodev
However, the camera will not connect.
I then do a rmmod uvcview and a modprobe uvcview and all is well until
the next reboot.
Also guvcview works very well and will capture picture and sound.
HTH
FYI,
Brian
