I don't have any USB webcams at the moment, but you might want to try
these drivers with Spook, a lightweight RTP/RTSP streamer originally for
Linux:
http://www.freshports.org/multimedia/spook/
Spook can use the V4L 1.x mmap() interface. I tried it with a one of
Luigi's ported drivers; it was not always stable, but it was able to
stream. It may be a good 'soak test' for the drivers.
As far as I know, the V4L2 API isn't in a BSD compatible form yet. This
seems to be needed to be able to deal with capture devices which can
read compressed frames from the device directly.
cheers,
Bruce
