No waiting on reboot, and the webcam works better.
I am curious what do you mean by the above reference to webcam.
Can you explain it with more details, even if only the impressions?
I probably going to commit the following patch in the next 24 hours.

I have a Logitech C270 USB webcam that I use for all the online meetings
now that everyone is working from home. (MS Teams, Google Meet, Slack,
Zoom, whatever...).
It is supported by multimedia/webcamd and has been working mostly fine.
(just some rare, occasional hickups)
When I started to notice the bufdaemon problems, I also noticed the
webcam not behaving as before.
It sometimes took me two or three tries to start the camera when joining
a meeting and once it started my video would freeze sometimes, being
frozen for a minute or so. Sometimes when I noticed that it frooze I
would try to restart it, and again it might take a couple of tries to
get it working again.
With the patch it seems to work better again.
Jakob
