I came across the instructions here and tested with my camera:

http://www.oz9aec.net/index.php/gstreamer/473-using-the-logitech-c920-webcam-with-gstreamer

The B990 seems to be much the same as C920, the v4l2-ctl output is identical

I tried the qv4l2 utility as described in that blog

I noticed much the same problem that I have with empathy: if I start the
video capture in qv4l2, it brings up a capture window that is all black.
 If I stop and then start the capture again, the picture is there.

So, the problem may not be unique to empathy
