[PD] no input from pwc via pdp_v4l

[Ian Smith-Heisters]

PWCX is dead! Long live PWC!

Amongst much drama pwcx was booted out of the kernel because it hooks to 
a closed source driver for decompression. There is now an open, fully 
featured, and easy to install driver at http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/

Try it out, and rock on.
