dropping frames when using v4l2src

[Aleksander]

Hi!

I have tested all of the options. xvimagesink sync=false quiets the warning
but does not help at all. Moreover it fails with:
ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src0: Internal
data flow error.
Additional debug info:
/var/tmp/portage/media-libs/gstreamer-1.2.4-r2/work/gstreamer-1.2.4/libs/gst/base/gstbasesrc.c(2865):
gst_base_src_loop (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src0:
streaming task paused, reason error (-5)

I've also checked d) but any of the cores arent working on full load.

I think I'll just buy new cam :)
