Subject: gst-plugins-base0.10: Gstreamer inputs default to outdated V4L,and require to be changed to V4L2 on first run

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: gst-plugins-base0.10
Version: 0.10.17-3
Severity: normal

Most modern webcam and capture devices are V4L2 based, but gstreamer and
Ekiga both default to using V4L instead. The V4L API isn't even
available in 2.6 kernels 
beyond 2.6.15, so it makes much more sense to disable it by default.

Webcam capture applications that use gstreamer (such as ekiga) throw
errors otherwise.
