Bug Description
Binary package hint: dv4l
I was successfully using dv4lstart (provided by dv4l) to present my firewire camcorder as a V4L device that skype could use in lucid.
I recently upgraded to maverick, and this no longer works. skype gets a single image from the camcorder, then stops updating.
the issue appears to be related to changes in the firewire stack in the new kernel.

a little more digging shows this is definitely a 'new firewire stack' bug - switching to the old stack fixes the issue.
feel free to change this to a kernel bug..
