pwcview error when taking snapshots

[Matthias Apitz]

Hello,

I wanted to use the cam of my netbook Acer C720 to take snapshots. The cam itself
works (i.e. gives picture on the screen) with:

$ pwcview -k
Webcam set to: 320x240 (sif) at 5 fps

but when I take snapshots it gives an error:

$ pwcview -h -c 1 -o foo.jpg
Webcam set to: 320x240 (sif) at 5 fps
libv4l2: error turning on stream: Device not configured
libv4l2: error reading: Invalid argument
Error reading from webcam: Invalid argument
$ 

This is with 11-CURRENT r285885 amd64 and ports r392920 (around July this
year).

Any ideas?
