No, really, that should be plenty.  Google for "0ac8:303b".  This link
(http://www.debiantutorials.org/content/view/149/217/) implies that you
simply haven't modprobed the spca5xx module.

What does:
# lsmod | grep spca

show?  If it's not listed, 

# sudo modprobe spca5xx

and try camorama again.  Then you have two choices - either force spca5xx to
be installed at boot time (by adding it to /etc/modules) or figure out how
to write a udev rule to modprobe it when it's plugged in.  I think I can
guess which is easier (but I could be wrong - it's possible that inserting
the module when there's no device physically present won't work).
