Hi Ivan,
I too have a sn9c102 webcam (Trust 120Spacecam) which works, more or less.
Remember this is a v4l2 device. My v4l-info output is like this:

I can't get it to work with streamer either but I don't know much about
streamer and can't be arsed to learn.
The good news is that it does work with Ekiga and AMSN so you might give one
or the other of those programs a try.
Cheers,
Jonathan
