[Spca50x-devs] Creative Live! Cam Video Im Pro

["Anatoly Verkhovsky" <anverx@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello!

I got "Creative Live! Cam Video Im Pro" for new year's present,
http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html lists the following:

Creative
215
0x041e
0x4053
Creative Live!Cam VideoIM

Vc301p
GC303
Yes
jpeg
spca5xx/LE

The only difference is the "Pro" right after the "Video IM".
USB ID is 0x051E:0x4055 as noted in http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=3970

I figured the differences between 0x4053 and 0x4055 might be small and just added the ID in 
two places to gspca_core.c (gspcav1-01.00.10, the package available in my distro).

Here is the dmesg snippet:

gspca: no version for "video_devdata" found: kernel tainted.

Unfortunately any software that accesses the created device /dev/video0 blocks for a long time and shows nothing.
I tried mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l:device=/dev/video0 (fails to even open a window), dmesg:

/var/tmp/portage/media-video/gspca-01.00.10/work/gspcav1-01.00.10/gspca_core.c: [gspca_init_transfert:940] get iso nbalt 3

Will the support for this device be added to the driver?  Can I contribute something? 
( not that i have any experience in reverse engineering or kernel hacking )
