I just can't stand it anymore when someone says "it's not a bug with the driver because it works with X or Y"... it means NOTHING if it works with ekiga or uvcviewwhatever... uvcviewer works for uvc webcams and it does some things to make it work with uvc webcams... but it might be that the bug is still coming from the driver, it's just that uvcviewer has a workaround, or that it uses something different... for example, pwc driver, our code worked perfect with it when we did a "open, capture an image, close", but when we did a "open, start streaming, get image, get image, get image, ...., close" we got the bug... aMSN tried to implement the specifications for v4l as much as possible so that it works with ALL webcams, so your uvcviewer/ekiga may not work with pwc drivers, but works with uvc drivers, or gnomemeeting works with pwc drivers and uvc, but it's not optimized at all (because it never streams the webcam), etc...
in short.. if it works with X or Y, it doesn't mean that the problem is from amsn!!!! p.s.: I'm not saying the bug (or workaround) that Phil just committed was because of a bug in the driver or in amsn, I have no idea, I'm just saying that I'm fed up and that it means nothing if it works with some other program...
