Hi,
My turn to offer you some help :-)

The X server in the N800 supports Xv, IIRC from earlier postings either
to this list or the Xorg list. As for the camera access API, I did some
poking around /sys on my N800 last night and as far as I can tell the
camera is a standard V4L2 device with an open driver. I say this because
the camera driver does not appear to be a module, which is required of
non-free kernel drivers due to licensing.
If you used GStreamer, I imagine the input pipe would be v4l(2) and the
output pipe Xv. I think standard camera apps should work reasonably well
on the N800, but anyone from nokia.com or elsewhere is free to correct
me for my semi-informed speculation...
