I think the problem still exists if an application
opens a memory mapping to a v4l device and dbus forks
off afterwards.
This is moreover a design bug in that case and
applications should be pinned somewhere in order to
rebase the dbus or alsa (->only has the memory mapping
problem) implementation in the corresponding
applications, forking off before setting up mappings
will work fine.
