[Ekiga-list] Ekiga quits, (crashes?), when I click on the Webcam icon, or on the "Test Video Device" button in the Druid.

Hi All,
I am a registered user of Ekiga and have Version 2.0.9 installed.  I searched  in your ekiga-list archives and found that you were already aware of this  problem, so did not file a bug report. I also read your note that this bug had been fixed in the next version of Ekiga to be issued. My 
O.S. is Ubuntu/Linux 6.06 LTS, Dapper. So I have been waiting for you to post a Download of Version 2.0.11 for this O.S. that I can install. So far you have only posted download files for Feisty. So my questions are:
1 - Do you propose to post a download file for Dapper? If not, then:
2 - Can I safely install any of the download files for Feisty, or Debian? If not, then:
3 - How can I obtain and install Ekiga Version 2.0.11 in my O.S.?
I am a newcomer to Linux and do not know all the tricks and shortcuts, so I will appreciate your help. 
For your information, I am trying to set up my Webcam, which is a MSI Starcam 370i. My system detects it and it appears as a Sangha 350k in the video devices page of the Druid. Also, from the command line info, it uses jpeg compression. I have searched on the web to discover the correct driver and have found that this webcam is supported by the spca5xx driver. I have downloaded the package spca5xx-source from the Linux repositories, using Synaptic 
P.M. and I have compiled it and installed it. Also, already installed on my system are: 
libopal-2.2.0 (2.2.8-0dapper0)
libopal-doc 2.2.1-1ubuntu1
libpt-1.10.0 (1.10.7-0dapper0)
libpt-plugins-alsa (    idem      )
libpt-plugins-v4l   (    idem      )
libpt-plugins- v4l2(    idem      )
From what I have read in your archives, I may need to change all these files! So your comments on this point would be helpful. I am anxious to test my webcam with this driver, with the hope that I can get this hardware working. At the moment I am using Ekiga, with much satisfaction, mostly for VoIP international calls to fixed phones through Diamondcard, with whom I have an account. I also make a few calls to mobile phones the same way. Speed of connection, sound quality and clarity are all top class. So I congratulate you digital wizards for creating an excelent software programme and I thank you all for your dedication to making and maintaining this very good software within the open source movement. I hope you will be able to help me overcome this last obstacle. Thanks, Yoliano.
