Sorry, I should have been more specific...

I'm interested in support for multiple USB cams.  I know some cam drivers
have multiple cam support, but not all do.  Framerate is not really
an issue.  Color would be nice, but if I can get more from B&W that's fine.
Unless there are some significant advantages, a GPLed driver is a must - 
yes, this means no Philips.

Thanks.
