The frame sizes and intervals returned by the uvcvideo driver during 
enumeration come directly from the values advertised by the device. When you 
set a frame rate using VIDIOC_S_PARM, the driver then negotiates the value 
with the device, and returns the frame rate it received from the device to the 
application. The device is free to adjust the frame rate (based on current 
lightning conditions for instance, if auto-exposure is turned on).
