Update. I tried other capture devices (Sensoray 2253 and 2255) which 
worked fine at 640 x 480 in Precise with the standard gstreamer 0.10 
packages, but other stuff in my gstreamer-based app was broken in 
Precise (dfbvideosink color format negotiation appeared broken on my 
sandybridge hardware), so I ended up reverting to Oneiric. Probably have 
to push my app to gstreamer 1.0 to progress much further, when I can 
spare some cycles :-/
