Andres, cheese asking hal for v4l capable devices has absolutely no relation with this bug. Please don't blame us if you don't know what you are talking about.

We just use gstreamer to access the webcam device.
The only thing we do on our own (directly accessing the device) is a VIDIOC_QUERYCAP ioctl to see if the webcam is a v4l2 or a v4l one.
I really doubt that could cause such a behavior and if so that would be still an uvcvideo issue.
Anyway why don't you guys report bugs to the proper place? If you want cheese developers to be aware of cheese issues please report them to bugzilla.gnome.org
