The problem is that the v4l1-compat code for VIDIOCMCAPTURE calls
VIDIOC_S_FMT. At the beginning of bttv_s_fmt_vid_cap the call to
bttv_switch_type fails because the buffers have already been mmap'ed
by the application. I'd say this is a bug in bttv.

In which case does the videobuf_queue_is_busy test prevent bad things
from happening?


A workaround is to set the resolution and image format before the
buffers are mapped, f.ex. with this small program:
--------------
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <linux/videodev.h>

void main()
{
  struct video_mmap vmm;
  vmm.height=352;
  vmm.width=288;
  vmm.format=VIDEO_PALETTE_YUV420P;
  vmm.frame=0;
  ioctl(open("/dev/video",O_RDWR),VIDIOCMCAPTURE,&vmm);
}
--------------

  Daniel
