Hi, 
I am currently developing device driver for a camera device to work on
ubuntu linux board (ARM)
 
I used "$gst-launch-0.10 v4l2src ! fakesink" to test if my webcam is working
correctly.

However following error occurs.
==============
WARNING: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src0: Failed to
get current input on device '/dev/video0'. May be it is a radio device
Additional debug info:
v4l2_calls.c(829): gst_v4l2_get_input ():
/GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src0:
system error: No such device
ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src0: Device
'/dev/video0' does not support video capture
Additional debug info:
gstv4l2object.c(1942): gst_v4l2_object_set_format ():
/GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src0:
Call to G_FMT failed: (Invalid argument)
Setting pipeline to NULL ...
Freeing pipeline ...
=================

This webcam is working when I test it with C code application in sequence of 
calling following ioctls.
*open -> VIDIOC_QUERYCAP ->VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT -> VIDIOC_S_INPUT -> set fmt ->
querybuf and so on.

I do not have full understanding of gstreamer frame work, but I have looked
at the source code and read all the manual about gstreamer.
When I looked at the source code for V4L2src plugin 

in V4L2_calls.c:
gst_v4l2_open() calls gst_v4l2_fill_lists() which then does VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT
then tries VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL. 
However, in my understanding there should be S_INPUT somewhere along the
code to select device input before querying any ctrl or setting input
format.

I cannot find any piece of code calling ioctl(VIDIOC_S_INPUT) in plugin
code!!!!!


I am using gstreamer0.10-plugins-good  / 0.10.25-4ubuntu2.

Please help.
Thank you in advance.
