I've also found that webcams are not the easiest peripherals to make 
work under GNU/Linux, and I'm not really sure why that should be.

I'll open a ticket for that.

You might like to get in touch with Peter Geirnaert 
<peter.geirnaert at gmail.com> who recently asked on the users list about 
using a webcam as a MIDI controller, which sounds interesting...

Cheers!
