The supported resolutions are:
160x120
176x144
320x240
352x288
640x480

The Color Space/Compression reported by the driver is only one: RGB 24
The driver also uses these files which may (or may not) be related to used 
compression: iyuv_32.dll, msh263.drv, msyuv.dll, tsbyuv.dll
In standalone mode, the camera records video in MJPEG format.


Controls:
Banding Filter - 50Hz/60Hz - bandwidth 3/4/5/6/7 (default=50Hz, 3)
Brightness - 0..255 (default=128)
Contrast - 1..8 (default=1)
Saturation - 0..8 (default=1)
Sharpness - 0..255 (default=0)
Hue - 0..360 (default=0)

I added some more logs to 
http://www.rainbow-software.org/linux_files/spca1528/

different resolutions (with default control settings):
usbsnoop-video-capture-160x120.log
usbsnoop-video-capture-176x144.log
usbsnoop-video-capture-352x288.log
usbsnoop-video-capture-640x480.log

160x120 with one control changed (other are at default values):
usbsnoop-controls-brightness-226.log
usbsnoop-controls-brightness-43.log
usbsnoop-controls-contrast-5.log
usbsnoop-controls-hue-91.log
usbsnoop-controls-saturation-4.log
usbsnoop-controls-sharpness-145.log

opening controls window with no capture running:
usbsnoop-open-controls.log
