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!
Dan
