Filippo, thanks A LOT for taking time to look into this issue, i wasn't trying to blame you at all, i just was pointing out some of the possible causes for the bug at hand.
According to your observations made in the bug report generated by Fabian the problem is related to libv4l support in gstreamer and the ioctl made by cheese. If someone can test the patch published by Filippo it would be great!
According to bug #260918 a lot of users had tested with LD_PRELOAD v4l compat lib without success in cheese but had success with skype or ekiga. Also it seems that this bug, the bug #28788 and bug #282473 are related to the gstreamer + v4l issues and the respective kernel modules, as Cheese is the first application an Ubuntu user would choose to test or play with their webcams the most of the bugs would be filling against it.
I'll try tomorrow to put the dupes that had arrived in the meantime to the respective bugs.
Thanks !!!
