This preload 'workaround' currently being used actually breaks my webcam
using the pwc driver.

Using  2.6.27-7-generic and lsusb output:
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:08b0 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam 3000 Pro [pwc]

Both skype and camorama don't work with the 
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so line.
Skype gives the famous 'green' image and camorama just shows a black screen. 
Cheese doesn't work either way (but might be due to the 'patched' gstreamer 
backend).

My guess is that this fix for the gspca driver, can have adverse effects with 
regard to other drivers.
Maybe someone else using a pwc driver can replicate this? (e.g. with the 
medibuntu package trying to just start /usr/bin/skype.real, or running camorama 
with/without the LD_PRELOAD line)

needed: libv4l and associated application patches (or "gspca stopped working in 
2.6.27")
