I forgot to write that the other buttons work fine.

I guess only a forgotten printf debug line causes it, so I thought its not 
difficult to fix it (when you have an idea where to find this line). Well, 
perhaps I'll try to find this line myself (when I find some time during the 
weekend).

Hmm strange, I'm using avicap for more than a year now, but I've never seen 
this error-message before.

Isn't there a way to detect that the codec doesn't work properly and so 
another codec is tried automatically?
