Additional information.
I have System - Ubuntu 6.10
gspca modul from gspca-source_01.00.16-1-1_all.deb becouse mounted in distribution program Ubuntu 6.10 dont work.
  With gspca from gspca-source_01.00.16-1-1_all.deb WEB camera begin start and light diode.
  However EKIGA or Camorama show black screen.

I see the chip in WEB camera it is zc0301PL.

I execute command gstreamer-properties. Its result:

 root@rezv:/usr/gstreamer/gstreamer-0.10.13# gstreamer-properties

(gstreamer-properties:15668): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:

gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'esdmon'
gstreamer-properties-Message: Skipping unavailable plugin 'pulsesrc'
root@rezv:/usr/gstreamer/gstreamer-0.10.13#

The black screen is as result.

I instal all gstreamer packages but EKIGA or Camorama or Mplayer show black screen.
