OK, I'm stumped... I've been hacking around with various bits and pieces and applications and it seems to be simply no go to try to get to a webcam still image.
The most hopeful with xsane just crashes... Various code examples merely use xawtv, or ffmpeg to then capture occasional frames from a continuous video stream from the webcam... So how do you acquire a singular "STILL_IMAGE_FRAME" from a webcam?
