One of the redhat guys had mentioned that they had a gstreamer pipeline
(for use w/ gst-launch-ext) that should work w/ v4l2.  I forget who it
was; John?  Blizzard?  Dan?  I forgot to follow up, but if anyone has
one please do email it to me.  Mplayer has far more dependencies than we
need (although aalib camera output in the console and playing around w/
the touchpad in gpm has certainly been fun ;)
