   There's probably a subfolder I can restrict this to? Which folder has the   
   webcam   
   drivers? (And maybe the v4l infrastructure.)

   Yeah I can probably reproduce it by joining from the browser and the native   
   client.

   This is a pretty common webcam model so it's hard to believe that I am the only   
   one who is affected... but with the kernel not having a (functional) central   
   bugtracker we wouldn't even know about it. I also have to imagine it'd be   
   easier   
   to bisect this if someone familiar with webcam drivers had a clue about what   
   happens in the release wehre this broke... oh well.   
      
   I will have to see if I have time and patience for a longer bisecting session   
   over the holidays.   
      
   Kind regards,   
   Ralf
