The other bug I filed is: [Bug 1003746]

I have a guess that both are related and possibly a cause of the move to multi-arch and to Unity.
Multi-arch because it seems they are both affecting x64 users from what I can seee
and Unity (at least for the webcam problems) because symptoms are less pronounced if you switch from Unity to Unity 2d or one of the Gnome options.

I have the same problem (I think so) as you can see from my post on the italian Ubuntu forum
Ho installato la versione 12.04 64 bit, e non funziona più la webcam Creative Live Cam Optia AF, che prima con la versione 11.04 64 bit funzionava benissimo, ho provato sia con Skype che con Cheese. Il comando lusb mi riporta lo seguente:

La webcam con altri SO funziona correttamente.
Vi ringrazio per il vostro possibile aiuto

NOTE - when I filed these 2 bugs for some reason Launchpad marked them as Firefox related.

THEY ARE NOT... cheese, uvcview etc all have problems although lately I have been able to uvcview to capture/display

But regardless, from my searches something with webcam's broke around 11.10 release and continues.

Skype for instance has a work-around being published about using a PRE-LOAD for the ia386 code.

Again, in my ignorance .. I suspect combo of multi-arch and Unity.

On latest x64 bit Debian it all works... so to a DEV that should also be a clue as to what changes from there to Ubuntu.

OK, also the mine problem is not Firefox related.
I have the problem with the 12.04 - 64 bit edition of *Ubuntu*.
I don't know problems about 11.10 because my last revision was 11.04 and
the webcam worked fine for a lot of time, also with Skype.
I'm not using Unity, I actually use Gnome
