The funny is that finally I can use my Philips SP530NC Webcam, including its embedded microphone within openSUSE 11.4
The sad is that to do it I have once again to use Microsoft Windows Xp as VirtualBox guest!
Several months and kernels passed since my bug-report, but sadly nothing changed

The same identical issue is still present on 11.4.
This is one of the reasons why sometimes is better to have a "Microsoft option" near of you.
Or... you do your research and buy a webcam that is known to work in Linux... like a Logitech webcam. You cannot expect every device out there to work in Linux - we all know this sad fact. This is not to say that you cannot help out and get another webcam model working.... but... well, it pays to pick known working hardware vs. any random thing off the shelf in your local consumer electronics shop.
