Comment 5 for bug 875302

.... no I didn't fix it... I looked at it together with Phil, we have a patch (he wrote it) that helps the situation a bit - at least the webcam gets recognized, but the image appears black with no brightness/contrast/etc volume controls whatsoever, and there are no error messages this time.

The patch is in http://pastie.org/private/nxv8vapdzbjp80e1ve4cka if you want to investigate.

                      DT_NEEDED
19:54 <LePhilousophe> and for now we don't set that as we rely on the fact that
                      libng must be loaded to load plugins
19:54 <LePhilousophe> because that's libng which loads plugins
