Hi Tom. As I've said. it would be nice to have the camera, and try out various 
options. be that as it may, how about this.

Boot up with the camera plugged in. Then do a rmmod uvcvideo, followed by a 
rmmod snd-usb-audio. Now the camera is plugged in, but both video, and sound 
are not available.

>From what I saw on Google the sound needs to be started first for this camera, 
so let's do it this way now.

modprobe snd-usb-audio
followed by
modprobe uvcvideo

Just clutching at straws, and I doubt if it will work, but worth a try all the 
same.

All the best.

Nigel.
