Hey Moritz

Thanks very much for the patch - it worked perfectly!

It didn't, unfortunately, solve my problem; however, at least I can now get
V4L1 on /dev/video0 with the uvcvideo driver (using flashcam and
vloopback).  The problem now seems to be in regards to the video/pixel
format (flashcam only outputs YUV420P).

However, at least I'm one step closer to a solution (I hope!).

I just now need to find a program that converts between formats (preferably
using the vloopback device driver).

Thanks again, Rob
Ps. It's such a shame that uvcvideo doesn't have a V4L1 option! :)
