Hi Laurent,

Yes, upon further looking into the aMSN source code i have discovered the
lovely C code :-D

lol, however, i still cannot seem to find what i need, or again, where to
start.

Also, you say it supports YUYV, am i not correct in assuming the output of
the driver is in either format, MJPEG or YUYV? i thought i saw something of
the sort in uvcview, although i am not certain what it was. assuming it
does. then why cannot the program access it correctly, and if it cant..well
i guess i have to figure out how to add it.

Also, heh, i have snooped around the amsn project pages, but they dont have
any mailing list to send requests to, and lol have not figured out how to on
SF.com so hmm.
