 Thanks for your long explanation. Have some questions
1) Do gspca once completed will obsoletes spca5xx kernel module?
2) Is gspcav2 is rewrite of spca5xx with v4l2 compatibility?
3) Can you add video recording with audio feature to gspcagui also? I
found that is the only feature that most webcam viewers are missing. I
am currently trying to have that feature in luvcviewer but not getting
how can i do that?
  I have not yet checked gspca application.
Regards,
Parag.
