Just for anyone else tracking this issue, I had Etienne test the
following:
1) sudo apt-get install linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-23-generic
2) create a file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ignore-17ef7802.fdi to look like:
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="usb_device.vendor_id" int="6127">
<match key="usb_device.product_id" int="18434">
<merge key="info.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
3) reboot and test
linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-23-generic provides alsa-driver-1.0.16 and
the .fdi file prevents hal from probing the device. Etienne provided the
following feedback:
"It works perfectly well. At least, in the sense that we can get both
the mic and the webcam working. Of course, the webcam do not work in
application that relies on HAL (ie, Cheese), but in those that use
ALSA/V4L directly (such as VLC), it work just fine indeed."
