Hi, Killian.  One of the problem I've had is getting settings to 
stick.  However, this is the state of play atm:

[root anne-linux anne]# ls -l /dev/mixer*
lr-xr-xr-x    1 root     video          11 Sep 13 06:39 /dev/mixer -> 
sound/mixer
[root anne-linux anne]# ls -l /dev/video*
lr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root           10 Sep 13 06:38 /dev/video -> 
v4l/video0
lr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root           10 Sep 13 06:38 /dev/video0 -> 
v4l/video0
[root anne-linux anne]# chgrp video /dev/video*
[root anne-linux anne]# ls -l /dev/video*
lr-xr-xr-x    1 root     video          10 Sep 13 06:38 /dev/video -> 
v4l/video0
lr-xr-xr-x    1 root     video          10 Sep 13 06:38 /dev/video0 -> 
v4l/video0
[root anne-linux anne]#

The /dev/mixer* was root.root, so I changed it when I read your 
message.  Still getting the error, though.
