phonon and video capture

[Bartosz Wadolowski]

Hello

Lately in my free time I work on Photo Booth and/or Cheese like program for 
KDE4 called webKam.
http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/webKam?content=76902
WebKam is based on Kopete code and it works only under Linux or to more 
precise on systems that have video4linux implemented, so in pratice only 
Linux has it. I think that Phonon is right place for cross platform video 
capture. I would like to implement that and I'm student who wish to 
participate in Google Summer of Code.
I'm wandering if anybody is currently working on this? And please write some 
comments about this idea. Are there any other projects which need cross 
platform api in phonon for video capture? I know only Kopete and since webKam 
is based on it's code backporting to Kopete should be vary simple.
