Hi

After aMSN webcam session is closed I can't use webcam anymore without
closing aMSN first. Bug is also blocking webcam from other programs
(ekiga, camorama,...).

        $ fuser -v /dev/video0
                             USER        PID ACCESS COMMAND
        /dev/video0          user       4070 ....m  wish


aMSN developers claim problem is in pwc driver. Do you agree? If you do,
is there anything we can do about it?

Kakaroto says: "it only happens with amsn because we use a method of
fetching the images that is optimized, faster and more efficient that
your driver supports but seems to have a bug when it's used."

Antti
