The V4L1 emulation provided by the kernel works in *almost* every case.
On the other hand, there's a thousand things which can go wrong with a
video application when it encounters a new driver.  Often it's something
totally different: wanting interlaced video, for example.

So, to track this down, we'll need some more information.  Can you get
into this application and see which calls are actually failing?

Thanks,
