Sigh, webcams, at one point they were solved. How far we have fallen. Originaly every webcam was a special snowflake, a screwball custom interface with a screwball custom driver. Then microsoft, as much as I like to rag on them here they did something good, microsoft created the usb video standard and said if you make a webcam it has to be uvideo. and life was good, webcams just worked. on linux, mac, and even my beloved obsd. And here we are again, shitty special snowflake interfaces and drivers and webcams barely work anymore, same story with audio.
