Hello,
Alessandros way worked for me:

1. Download and unpack http://people.atrpms.net/~hdegoede/libv4l-0.5.0.tar.gz
2. See README, and install: sudo make install
3. Open terminal window
4. $ export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so
5. $ camstream
(see http://play.datalude.com/blog/?p=117)

yes it is a different problem from that one here, just want to tell other people coming from google.

I have a /dev/video0 but my cam was not working with a bunch of programms until I installed v4l from the link above.
