[Pkg-telepathy-maintainers] Bug#618903: empathy: I can't select video source for video chats

[wzab]

Package: empathy
Version: 2.30.3-1+b2
Severity: important

I use a system with multiple video input devices.
Unfortunately when I start the video chat, empathy automatically tries
to use the TV tuner as video input and freezes (due to format
incomaptibility?)
There is no "settings" window, in which I could select the video source
to be used with Empathy.
