What can you do with linux-gspca-kmod

So I have a Creative Webcam Live! that works with graphics/spcaview. I also installed the linux-gspca-kmod port. When I load the gspca module, the camera is detected and I do get a /dev/video0 device. But, now, what can I do with it? mplayer doesn't seem to recognize it as an input device, nor does kopete. Are there any programs under FreeBSD that can make of /dev/video*

I did previously try mplayer, to no avail, but perhaps I'm not passing the right arguments. I'll have to give some of the other apps a try.

Well, I've struck out with vlc, mplayer, ekiga, and I also tried the pcwview application. No luck with any of them accessing /dev/video0 (though the device exists, they just error out). Oh well, back to spca5view :-)
