Dear Maintainer,


Picture taking and Burst picture  taking work.  Video does not work.
Starting video recording freezes the image shown on screen and freezes cheese
itself.  Cheese must be killed by closing its window.

xfce4 is the desktop environment.

Syslog shows the following error at the time of the freeze:
Jan 10 18:44:42 spike3 pulseaudio[1423]: E: [alsa-source-ALC3246 Analog] alsa-
source.c: Error opening PCM device front:0: Device or resource busy

Thanks!
