After a quick look at the source code, aMSN seems to support V4L2 and YUYV but 
not MJPEG. As I have no MSN account there is no way I can test the software. 
Have you tried asking the aMSN developers for support ?

Some parts are implemented in tcl, but image capture is implemented in plain 
old C.

Have a look at utils/linux/capture

Regarding xawtv, I'll try to see if I can get it working with the linux-uvc 
driver this weekend. Has someone else had any success with xawtv so far ?
