You are right, and obviously it exists at least two different devices of
the same name, and this is confusing when trying to buy a cam known by
its name on the supported list. Maybe a a warning should be issued to
the supported device list to prevent a mistake.

The this test has failed : the device is not a UVC : so I propose to add
a comment in the device list to warn potential users : 0x041e:0x04055 is
NOT a UVC device, whereas it bears the same commercial name as
0x041e:0x04063 : Creative Live! Cam Video IM Pro, which I suppose to be
a working UVC cam.


And there was no means to know the vendor-id:device-id before buying the
object and trying to install it. A bad experience. I shall try to 
exchange this cam with a real UVC one at the reailer's.


Best regards
