I tried the LD_PRELOAD trick mentioned in this bug, but no app was able to handle the webcam. There are a lot of gspca launchpad bugs so I'm not sure where to file this one. I picked 260918 since it was listed as the mother bug, but 292086 might be more appropriate.
I'm running intrepid and cheese does not work for me with my QuickCam Communicate STX. It printed
libv4l2: error dequeuing buf: Input/output error
to standard out 50 or so times.
