What is easy cap? There is no Ubuntu application with that name.

Maybe you are talking about the same thing as that link: http://forum.easycap.co.uk/index.php?topic=448.0

Linux sees it as what it is. You drive the controller chip which is an STK1160. The text printed on the plastic case does not change what is in the device

Can you help with this problem?
