I've also used a Logitech webcam (the QuickCam Sphere AF) with uvcvideo 
driver, and it works without the VIDIOC_G_PARM call. When I try to set a 
rate different from the supported ones, the VIDIOC_S_PARM call already 
returns the modified value.
But if the get call is needed for some other devices and/or drivers, 
let's put it.
