Andres, I think this a duplicate of Bug 290506 afterall. I realized that all the other applications work with the camera if I run them before running cheese. After reloading the uvcvideo module the webcam works until I run cheese, then it is broken in every program! However, upgrading to the latest svn version of uvcvideo (from berlios) seems to fix the cheese issue.
