Andres, as I said in bugzilla I was wrong about libv4l.. I don't know what made me believe that patch fixed the issue (it was late and I was really tired) but, unfortunately, it doesn't.

Also please forgive me if I appeared rude with you, I didn't want it, it's just that lately too much people says cheese doesn't work with intrepid but it's just that many changes went in webcam drivers with 2.27 so some regression went in too and we have no power on it.

Anyway it seems like it's not a cheese issue at all. I have the issue and can reproduce it only if I use the webcam at maximum resolution both with cheese and gst-launch.

gst-launch-0.10 v4l2src ! video/x-raw-yuv, width=640, height=480 ! xvimagesink
Works perfectly, it can be run many times with no issue.

gst-launch-0.10 v4l2src ! video/x-raw-yuv, width=1280, height=1024 ! xvimagesink
Locks and the webcam doesn't work anymore without reloading uvcvideo.

Could any of you confirm this? I'm going to report it to the uvcvideo developer.
