I have my quickcam chat working with vlc's v4l and the above mentioned
port. The video I am seeing is qcif(176x144) when logitech claims the
camera does cif(352x288) natively and the n uses software to scale up
to 640x480. Given the picture quality I dunno that I'd want to scale
it up to 640x480, but if I could get cif out it that would be nice.
