Hi Ron

I do not use it in gambas itself.
At start of the box I load the vlookback module with parameters.
This produce aside the /dev/video0 a new device as /dev/video4
video0 is in my case a v4l2 Philips webcam and video4 the translated
to v4l1 device for flash components. 
The camera in flash object is not founs as v4l2 but v4l1 and works.


The vlookback source available at:
http://www.lavrsen.dk/twiki/bin/view/Motion/VideoFourLinuxLoopbackDevice

I did use his vloopback-0.91 version already a few years back and could
view with several programs at the same time look to video.


This package has included also a fork(rework) of vloopback
http://www.swift-tools.net/Flashcam/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/flashcam/
http://flashcam.sourceforge.net

This is a very good package to start with. 
It has also support to add other programs, like gambas, however I haven't
done. 
I do now use a external camara multiplexer Hitachi MX850 and a DVR 
for recording. Was planned to make a gambas program but no time todo.


other source:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/BetterWebcamSupport
I do have the microdia microscope in use and that works with this 
project. Not a gambas program.

attached a bash script using vloopback, flascam and the microdia uScoop.
Its just the try, show, debug, inof script with comments what to find/found
and parameters to use.
My best bet for your domotica project ATM.
