Hi,
Cheese has a whole C library to handle that stuff. We're just a poor
lone python wolf.
I added a workaround in dev/ux branch in git which removes duplicate
video devices (we just list /dev/video* now) and finds the name if /sys
is available.
It's commit 616076e in git, if you are curious, but it won't apply on
0.9 or 1.1.
