I spent the holiday yesterday doing some cleanups of the code. The webcam
at http://lugburz.risc.uni-linz.ac.at/ is online again. The first error
seems to be exposure control in none-streaming mode. It is a bit dark. :)

If you are bored give it a try. If I find some time in the evening I will
put out a first version. It runs now with most of my test application
(w3cam, xawtv 2/3, patched gqcam, but not kwintv-0.7.4 [kde software is
junk as always ;]). So at least using it for a webcam should be possible.
