I (well, actually my SO) happened to have one of those Logitec "ball" webcams 
that can pan and tilt and zoom. Installed the driver, stick it in and it 
worked, with both pwcview and mplayer with [c]sif/25fps or lower and with 
vga/15fps or lower. Needless to say I confiscated the camera ;-)

I think I'm going to add this to kbtv and if panning/tilting works have that 
instead of channel up/down  - as it has for for TV cards -  when the pwc 
driver is selected. 

Nice work!
