[Solved] Creative web cam driver

Good evening. I have installed all required applications in my Acer Travelmate 291Lci laptop with arch linux. When checking Creative web cam, It was not identified by chesse. Device was detected.
$ lsusb | grep Creative
Bus 002 Device 020: ID 041e:4029 Creative Technology, Ltd

$ dmesg | tail -5
ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3
ISOFS: changing to secondary root
usb 2-1: USB disconnect, address 19
usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 20
usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

This web cam is working fine in Ubuntu with gspcav1 drivers. yaourt finds the drivers in AUR but during package building it fails.

Note: After full system update and with kernel 2.6.27-ARCH web cam detected and working fine with vlc. Cheese miserably fails. Error messeage

$ cheese --verbose
Detected v4l2 device: WebCam VistaPro
Driver: zc3xx, version: 131584
Bus info: 0000:00:1d.1

(cheese:7689): GStreamer-WARNING **: pad source:src returned caps which are not a real subset of its template caps

(cheese:7689): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_value_set_fraction: assertion `denominator != 0' failed
Detected webcam: WebCam VistaPro
device: /dev/v4l/video0

(cheese:7689): GStreamer-WARNING **: pad source:src returned caps which are not a real subset of its template caps

I submitted a bug report to gnome team. This is due to the gstreamer and an update version from arch is awaited.
