Hi, I have a cheap, no-name webcam from FocalPoint.com. Video seems to basically work (tried with xawtv and mplayer), but with banding (regularly spaced bluish horizontal bands that seem to move vertically upward, taking about a second or two to travel from the bottom of the image to the top). Haven't tried sound since the short lengths of the USB and mic cables and the location of my machine's ports make plugging both in simultaneously difficult or impossible.
Thanks for your work on this project! The camera is (similar to?) this one: http://www.focalprice.com/CW013B/USB_Digital_Video_4_LED_Webcam_PC_Camera_with_Microphone_Black.html >From syslog: Jan 12 17:52:00 localhost kernel: [12312.163037] usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6 Jan 12 17:52:00 localhost kernel: [12312.287782] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device USB2.0 Camera (1e4e:0100) Jan 12 17:52:00 localhost kernel: [12312.292382] uvcvideo: UVC non compliance - GET_DEF(PROBE) not supported.
