Hi,

Today I received this bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=470698

The problem here is that for cams which support only one resolution (and do not
support the v4l2 ENUM_FRAMEIVAL ioctl). gstreamer will return caps with a range
for width and height with range_min == range_max.

I believe that this is not correct and the gstreamer instead should return a
gvalue holding just an int.

This currently results causes an empty resolution list (and generally not
working) in cheese, I've written a patch for cheese to work around this for
now, see bug 560032.
