There is a similar API (ioctl() on /proc/video/ov511/<minor#>/control) 
but it is not necessary to use compression. You only need to load the 
driver with "compress=1" and then load ov511_decomp.o

15 FPS at 640x480, and 30 FPS at 320x240. 60 FPS may be possible at 
lower resolutions. Testing was done with xawtv; some apps (ones that use 
read()) may be slower. Most USB webcams perform similarly to this.
