I am also having the same problem ie fails with Camorama and Wengo but works in v4l2 in Ekiga.
It is not a ZC0301 but a ZCO0303

### lsusb ###
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0ac8:303b Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. ZC0303 WebCam

### dmesg ###
[ 4.284000] usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2
[ 4.496000] usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

Camorama just gives a "Could not connect to video device (/dev/video0)" while Wengo sees the camera, but is unable to access it.

Appreciate any help we can get.

Thanks!
