For Ubuntu users, I've made a PPA containing builds of `v4l2loopback` for 20.04 (Focal), 21.10 (Impish), 22.04 (Jammy), 22.10 (Kinetic) that includes backports of the following patches:

 ðŸ©¹ https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback/pull/477
 ðŸ©¹ https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback/pull/485

The patch above fixes the ability to start/stop the Virtual Camera in OBS many times. It "works for me"â„¢

The PPA is here:

Feedback welcome. If this fix works widely, I'll work towards landing in the official packages for Ubuntu.
