The API? which api are you talking about? the v4l2 api? we just do *one* ioctl, it's a very basic and simple one and it's already been verified it's not the guilty one.
Anyway cheese works with every other webcam driver out there and doesn't have this issue with prior versions of uvcvideo. Is it that hard to understand that something there has changed and it's causing this bug?
I can reproduce the very same bug with gstreamer alone, so it's clearly not a cheese issue. Others reported the bug with gstreamer alone too. I don't know how Kopete works but I cannot see anyone here who said the issue doesn't stand with it.
Regarding skype, please stop enumerating it.. it's closed source, how could be useful to know it works? Does it use v4l1 api? does it use libv4l? what resolution does it set?
