Good news:

What I did:
* Simplify examples/grab (by commenting out the $tuner lines),
  attached, diff below.
* With libvideo-capture-v4l-perl 0.902-1:

  The LED lights up, and:

gre...@nerys:/tmp$ ./grab
Device: name USB Camera (046d:08a2), type capture, channels 1, audios
0, sizes 48x32-640x480
Channel 0: name zc3xx, tuners 0, flags, type camera, norm 0
Audio Channel 0: volume 0, bass 0, treble 0, flags, name Microphone,
mode 0, balance 0, step 1
Picture Settings: brightness 32896, hue 0, colour 0, contrast 32768,
whiteness 39321, depth 8, palette 0

.unable to sync at ./grab line 120.

  The LED extinguishes.  

* With libvideo-capture-v4l-perl 0.902-2:

  LED comes up, output:

gre...@nerys:/tmp$ ./grab
Device: name USB Camera (046d:08a2), type capture, channels 1, audios
0, sizes 320x240-640x480
Channel 0: name zc3xx, tuners 0, flags, type camera, norm 0
Audio Channel 0: volume 0, bass 0, treble 0, flags, name Microphone,
mode 0, balance 0, step 1
Picture Settings: brightness 32896, hue 0, colour 0, contrast 32768,
whiteness 39321, depth 24, palette 4

................................................................^C
  
  So it looks like the sync works until I press Ctrl-C.


There's definitely a difference :)


Cheers,
gregor
