Hi,

IIRC the v4l2src GStreamer element is using libv4l[1], which could 
explain why Cheese works correctly and other applications using the 
driver directly don't. There's instructions on the bottom of the linked 
page that tells how to make it preload and intercept calls for 
applications not using libv4l (presumably Skype is one, and one that 
don't let you modify it anyway).

Cheers,
Matthew Brush
