All,
I have a "Creative Technology, Ltd Webcam Live!/Live! Pro" that until
recently worked fine with the out-of-tree gspcav1 driver
(gspcav1-20071224.tar.gz is the latest version I used unti 2.6.26).
Since this driver (basically) got merged in the kernel I got my hopes up
that the in-kernel gspca_zc3xx drivers would work. However, that does
not provide a usable video0 device - mplayer tv:// crashes with 'No
stream found.' for instance:

seems I just found the v4lcompat.so stuff, which (apart from being a
pain in the rear) makes the webcam work again...
This seems to be a very common error. IMO, we should write message when loading
a gspca that would require libv4l in order to work.
it would be wonderful if the v4l stack itself can warn when an
application uses the wrong method on the device node... would such a
thing be possible?
