One might want to port it to Qt. Here you have a multiplatform webcam library:

You can see some code in their git repository. From what i know, there will be webcam support in qt, trough qt multimedia. You can see some code in their git repository.

I advised on the Phonon port of the Kopete webcam code started by Taupter for GSoC a couple of years ago but that attempt wasn't successful. Aleix Pol and others started Kamoso recently and looked at continuing it but chose to use the VLC codebase instead. It would be great to do this right in Phonon and make webcam support another commodity feature for the KDE platform. Good luck!

Almost every laptop what is sold, includes a webcam. And as far people do not really use them because most situations where to use it is on IM or VoIP, like MSN and Skype. But I think the Photobooth is not so critical application either. I do not want to take pictures me by sitting on front of the computer. I take them with camera itself. Same does all my friends (okay, most of us are photographers!). But without KDE platform supporting webcams, it is someway difficult to make applications for using it. Think about the situation you have 3-5 webcams on home and you want to setup a security software with motion detection. Or you want to make a video diary application http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/record-plasmoid?content=97428 and a plasmoids for videorecording as well. Then users could make easy way the tutorial videos and so on. I can not understand why no one has taked care of this!?
