Hi,

it seems there is a bug in videobuf_reqbufs(). Depend on the spec
(http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/video4linux/API/V4L2_API/spec-single/v4l2.html#VIDIOC-REQBUFS),
it should be possible to deallocate all buffers. This doesn't work, because
videobuf_reqbufs() bails out with EINVAL, if the function is called with a count lower
than 1 (videobuf-core.c, line #399). Deallocate should be done with count set to 0.

Regards,
Hartmut
