Does your webcam work with other applications? Like wxcam or mplayer?

Sorry for the late reply, it works fine in mplayer skype and pretty much any other application I've tried.

For reference it works fine in gnome 3.10 under openSUSE 13.1 , so I guess it might be an archlinux only issue.

A lot has changed since this report, is this still an issue?
