Does the BBB USB have the bandwidth to use a cheap webcam? I've been looking into this for a while and the answer seems to be no. I have a cheap camera, lsusb shows it to be a "Vega USB 2.0 Camera" . This is in the uvcvideo supported list. I can only grab 160x120 images. Lots of older posts (2012-2013)  talk about usb driver dma issues.

Is there any current info on the state of BBB usb drivers and webcams?
