webcamd and hal

[Steve Wills]

Hi,

I'm using webcamd happily, it's working quite well. I did notice that it 
seems that if I disable the HAL option, it continues to work but doesn't 
seem to create the /dev/dsp* entries, which I do need. Is there some way 
to avoid this?

I ask because webcamd seems to be the only thing (on my system anyway) 
that's using hald, and hald also seems to depend on an older version of 
polkit (sysutils/policykit, not to be confused with sysutils/polkit) and 
I'd like to avoid that if possible.

Thanks,
Steve
