Did you make it work with spcagui?  

I started with spca5xx_20041121.tar.gz with a Creative Webcam. I
managed to go though the video test with gnomemeeting. But the moment
I clicked the button to see the video on gMtg, the whole PC system
hanged.  Testing it with spcagui would hang the whole computer also. 
After a couple of days, I abondoned the creative webcam and used a
simple Philips webcam.
