I checked what guvcview is, and it seems like something we tested. C920
was working in some GTK+ app, which COULD BE guvcview - in this app you
can adjust some settings to make it working, but when streaming from
headless server using VLC or when using default video module in
Raspberry Pi QT app it was not working because of some compatibility
problems. I did not test it recently (we are using another webcam for
development) but have to check if works on newest Debian release.

On the other hand, C920 is a very good webcam, and if it works - it
works great - no problems with sound or video quality.



Usb web cams tend to all use the standardised uvc usb profile so they should all just work.

Another alternative is a network web cam, that also all use standard protocols that work with ffmpeg / mplayer / xine etc.
