I explored this issue a bit more an found out, that several, if not all of the standard filter plugins, do
not work with the v4lsrc. With the videotestsrc they work fine.
I tried 
gstreamer-launch-0.8 v4lsrc device=/dev/video0 ! <filter> ! x(v)image,
wheras <filter> was videocrop, videobalance, edgeTV, agingTV and others.
E.g. v4lsrc ! videobalance !  xvimagesink results in a broken image with the occasional
error message: 
ERROR: from element /pipeline0/v4lsrc0: Could not synchronize on resource.
Additional debug info:
v4lsrc_calls.c(119): gst_v4lsrc_sync_frame: /pipeline0/v4lsrc0:
system error: input-/outputerror
