New PKGBUILD for ricoh webcam

Question

Hello all,
I was searching for a driver for my ricoh webcam (05ca:1870) in my hp pavilion dv1000.
I know that here http://bitbucket.org/ahixon/r5u87x/ there's a user space tool manager cameras based on Ricoh R5U87x chipsets though uvcvideo, but my webcam did not work (no /dev/video0).
But searching a bit more i found this http://www.palmix.org/r5u870-en.html, here there's an update for the old r4u870 driver to build with the 2.6.30 kernel (32 and 64 bits). I modified the PKGBUILD in http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15226.
The package is builded and installed ok, but after I activate the module (with modprobe r5u870) and tested with gstreamer (gst-launch-0.10 v4l2 ! ffmpegcolorspace ! autovideosink) it only capture one image and then gst-launch-0.10 shows a bunch of:
(gst-launch-0.10:31682): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_util_uint64_scale_int: assertion `denom > 0' failed
I want to know if someone has this type webcam and can try this packages, and of course modify the PKGBUILD to add support both i686 and x86_64.
If someone made it work please send me how.

I copied r5u870.install from the aur package, then tried your PKGBUILD, only modifying arch to x86_64. Got a make error....

Any ideas?
