Is it using the gspca_zc3xx driver? From what I understand this is a v4l2 driver and some apps use the older v4l1 instead. I got it to work by preloading a wrapper library for v4l1 compatibility as follows (make sure libv4l-0 is installed):

$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so camorama

If you're on a 64-bit system and use 32-bit apps like skype, then apt-get install lib32v4l-0 and subsequently use:

$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
