Thank you!

Cheese should changed to search for and enumerate, or manually select, cameras by /dev/device#, such as for example:

$ cheese -d "/dev/video1"

Instead of the way it's currently programmed, such as for example:

$ cheese -d "Secret Squirrel Webcam"

(The contents of the "ID_V4L_PRODUCT" variable.)

OR: Perhaps the combination of both methods should be employed to find and enumerate ALL devices and streams. Perhaps like this:

"Secret Squirrel Webcam (video0)"
"Secret Squirrel Webcam (video1)"
"Secret Squirrel Webcam (video2)"
"Some Other Camera Device (video3)"
