This is a known problem: "Important note: libwebcam 0.1.1 is not fully compatible with revisions of the UVC driver later than 178. Until libwebcam 0.1.2 is available, users are advised to use uvcvideo r178." (http://www.quickcamteam.net/software/libwebcam/) Control IDs have recently changed in the driver to match new controls introduced in the V4L2 API. Now that the UVC standard controls are part of the official V4L2 API, they shouldn't change anymore. As a quick & dirty workaround, try to recompile libwebcam (0.1.1) with uvcvideo.h and uvc_compat.h from the driver sources. You will run into compilation issues in libwebcam.c. Commenting the 2 faulty lines should work around the problem. For uvcdynctrl and libwebcam issues, you might get more help in the quickcamteam.net forums.
