It appears to make a difference, but it still does not work perfectly.

I disabled autosuspend like this:
root@...anha:/sys# for i in $(find -name autosuspend); do echo 0 > $i; done

Then I started usbmon, connected the camera, and tried different times
to run mplayer. All failed again:
http://artipc10.vub.ac.be/~frederik/webcam/usb2-no-autosupend.mon.out

I stopped usbmon. I Tried again starting mplayer, and then 1 in 2 cases,
I got a working image now. However, after a few seconds, the image
starts to lag, stutter and freeze, just like it cannot keep up with the
image from the camera.

I started usbmon again, and made a trace of this image freezing
happening after a few seconds:
http://artipc10.vub.ac.be/~frederik/webcam/usb2-no-autosupend.mon.out2

I also don't know whether this is related, but when it's connected to
the usb3 port, the Cheese webcam application tends to freeze when
starting a recording. kernel logs contain these errors when it's
connected to USB3:

But at least mplayer works fine when it's connected to USB3.
