Version: 0.10.17-3<BR>
Severity: normal<BR>
<BR>
Most modern webcam and capture devices are V4L2 based, but gstreamer and Ekiga both default to using V4L instead. The V4L API isn't even available in 2.6 kernels <BR>
beyond 2.6.15, so it makes much more sense to disable it by default.<BR>
<BR>
Webcam capture applications that use gstreamer (such as ekiga) throw errors otherwise.<BR>
