Connecting the webcam directly with usb pass-thru will never work well because
of timing issues.
Too much USB packets dropped and image that cannot be formed.
If you want to use it, use the qemu-v4l2 patchset posted two months ago in the
list.
It's still experimental but will give you image if your webcam is supported.
