Package: ekiga
Version: 2.0.11-2ubuntu2
Severity: normal
Most modern webcam and capture devices are V4L2 based, but gstreamer and
Ekiga both default to using V4L instead. The V4L API isn't even
available in 2.6 kernels
beyond 2.6.15, so it makes much more sense to not default to it.
Webcam capture applications that use V4L2 will tend to throw errors that
are daunting to new users for this reason.
