Exactly.  This would make the webcam driver unusable. Another one,
which awaits RGB is camstream, which also I use. After moving all

out.

not sure who from userspace can do this nowadays. Will check.

hmm, no. It's physically impossible -- it's built in. Is there any
possibility of sw unplugging, e.g. writing something somewhere to
/proc or /sys?
