I tried a bit further, and I came to the conclusion that this is likely a bug
in libv4l2 ... I don't yet know what it is.
The strongest argument is ,that the capturing example taken from the specs of
v4l, replaced with the respective v4l2_ calls (to utilize auto conversion),
make the program throw out the exact same error.
Can anybody please guide me?
I am desperade ~.~ trying to get it to work.

Ronny
