Comment 189 for bug 260918

Sorry if this is not the place, but I'm desperate for guidance on how to access an webcam with Pixart PAC207BCA (vid/pid 0x093A:0x2468) via gspca pac207. Ekiga can retrieve image data, but apparently it uses a different system!?
When I try to grab a frame with FFmpeg version r11872+debian_3:0.svn20080206-12ubuntu3 I get
...
[video4linux2 @ 0xb80aa388][3]Capabilities: 5000001
[video4linux2 @ 0xb80aa388]Cannot find a proper format.
/dev/video0: I/O error occured
Usually that means that input file is truncated and/or corrupted.

and dmesg shows
gspca: usb_submit_urb [0] err -28

I have compiled and installed libv4l-0.5.8-1 but no difference.
I need to stream from the camera and tried http://mjpg-streamer.wiki.sourceforge.net/ which does not work.
Could someone give instructions on how to get this working?
