Public bug reported: I have a webcam Logitech Communicate STX, which connects via USB and has integrated USB microphone. The audio is working just fine. My problem is with the video, when I start an application like Cheese, gstreamer-properties, vlc or empathy the video starts, but shortly after it freezes. Initially I thought it froze completely, but it didn't, if I make some movement very close to the camera (ie. moving my hand swiftly in front of it) it will start sending video again, but as soon as I stop this fast movement, the camera will freeze again.
