I already explained it:
- when a packet starts with '55 ff d8', it is the first part of the
image. This one should start at the offset 8 of the packet.

In gspca, the file "jpeg.h" contains all the material to build a
complete JPEG header. With the new mechanism of my test repository, you
must:
- at streamon time (function sd_start):
- allocate a buffer for the JPEG header,
- set the resolution and number of samplesY (0x22 or 0x21) by
the function jpeg_define,
- set the quantization tables by the function jpeg_set_qual,
the quality being in percent (15..95).
- when getting the start of a new image in sd_pkt_scan, add the JPEG
header as the first packet.
- at streamoff time (function sd_stop0), free the JPEG header.
- on VIDIOC_S_JPEGCOMP (function sd_set_jcomp which you must create),
redefine the quantization tables by jpeg_set_qual.
Cheers.
