Bug Description

Binary package hint: skype

What I have:
Logitech Communicate STX webcamera (Bus 003 Device 005: ID 046d:08d7 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Communicate STX)
with Kubuntu 8.10 amd64. (2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Thu Oct 30 04:12:22 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux)

What works: module gspca_zc3xx being loaded, audio from webcam works, /dev/video0 being created.
What doesn't: video from webcam with skype.
How did I test:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so camorama -- video works nice.
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so kopete -- video works but with low fps.
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype -- video from my other v4l device (tvtuner) being shown instead of camera output.
skype (from mediubuntu with v4l dependency and bugfix for lib dependency)/

It seems to be skype bug in video device selection list.
Set right device, press apply, then reopen dialog. Now press "Test" button and right device will be tested.

I have the same problem in ubuntu intrepid. Green scrambled test image. Trying to preload vl4compat gives error message:

$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.

With camorama camera works fine with pre loading.

Thnx.
