Comment 1 Fryderyk Dziarmagowski 2009-03-25 09:32:00 UTC 
I can confirm it. I got a Philips SPC 900NC USB webcam working with 2.6.28.x but it fails with 2.6.29 (causes popular propertiary video conferencig software to crash)
Same failure as Markus described:
(from gstreamer-properties)
Could not map buffers from device '/dev/video0'
Failed to create buffer pool: Resource temporarily unavailable]
dmesg doesn't provide any information, just standard pwc output:

pwc: Supports Philips PCA645/646, PCVC675/680/690, PCVC720[40]/730/740/750 & PCVC830/840.
pwc: Also supports the Askey VC010, various Logitech Quickcams, Samsung MPC-C10 and MPC-C30,
pwc: the Creative WebCam 5 & Pro Ex, SOTEC Afina Eye and Visionite VCS-UC300 and VCS-UM100.
pwc: Philips SPC 900NC USB webcam detected.
pwc: Registered as /dev/video0.
usbcore: registered new interface driver Philips webcam

my setup:
linux 2.6.29 SMP preempt mod_unload CORE2 4KSTACKS
I can provide more detailed info, just ask me.

Looks like bug 12920 and this bug are duplicates of each other.
Comment 4 Suresh B Siddha 2009-04-04 00:24:45 UTC 
Fix for this issue (http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123854290308079&w=2) went into linux-2.6.29.1. Can we please check 2.6.29.1 and close this bug if the issue is resolved?
