The Raspberry Pi has some problems with USB cameras and other USB video
capture devices (due to the USB host controller).
Hopefully the problems will be solved soon, but until then it is
probably not the ideal device for that purpose.

I have heard that. In fact originally I started looking at this
differently - that I could couple a SLIC design with the Raspberry
Pi to make an FXS ATA, using the Pi's audio jack and the GPIO, with
some kind of mic... I found this:<br>

An old (expired!) patent for a SLIC with discrete components...
might be a fun project...<br>
<br>
I got talked into looking for a USB based solution by a friend,
which seemed like an easy way out. Until I discovered that it just
doesn't exist :)<br>
