I think it should not segfault with the V4L plugin, and I think the
driver does not support V4L2 (explaining the error message).

Can you try a snapshot from http://snapshots.seconix.com (we offer
binaries) ? It contains a few fixes in the V4L plugin that could make
things work without the segfault.
