Thanks, i'll try it.

I have another, more general question: It seems that there are different
ways to activate a uvcvideo cam? For instance, when i have a device
already open (eg: kaffeine, watching my favorite TV-Program) and than
starting "ekiga", the video playback stopped for a few seconds and then 
goes on, when the uvc cam is ready. This is really annoying. Especially
for "ekiga", while it does it on every video call (This happens too,
when i manually load the additional motor controls for this cam.)

I notice, that "motion" doesn't shows up such behavior when activating
the cam or loading the motor controls. A current playing video is not
interrupted. That's really nice. :-)

Is it possible to have this for ekiga and other apps, too? Is this a job
for uvcvideo or more a job the application side?

btw: Is it planned to have "build-in" support in uvcvideo for the
various motor controls (like motion) or is it possible (maybe for
me ;-)) to make my own version especially for my Sphere AF?
Maybe i look in the wrong direction? ;-)

Sorry for bad English, i hope you cache my problem(s).

Thank you!

Stefan
