Bug#706136: [armhf] times out reading from /dev/video0

[martin f krafft]

Package: libav-tools
Version: 6:0.8.6-1
Severity: normal

I have a USB camera that works fine on an amd64 system
(3.8-trunk-amd64), but it does not work on a Raspberry Pi.

If I run

  avconv -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video0 -f flv /tmp/test.flv

the file is actually never written. strace (attached) reveals that
the process times out waiting for data on /dev/video0 (which is FD
4).

This may well be a problem with the kernel/module. If so, please
reassign.
