I own one easycap card, 1b71:3002 Fushicai USBTV007 Video Grabber [EasyCAP].
I've made it working without problem on raspbian (Linux raspberrypi 4.1.7+ #817
PREEMPT Sat Sep 19 15:25:36 BST 2015 armv6l GNU/Linux) installed on my
raspberry PI. Because I need more CPUvpower for encoding+streaming at the same
time, I give up to use raspberry PI and tried to install it under a virtual
linux machine running on my vmware-esxi server.
I installed first on vista (another virtual machine running on the same esxi
server), and was able to audio+video. So for sure, from here I decided that
esxi is configured ok, and device connected is working properly. Moving from
vista to ubuntu (14.x, 15.x) or fedora-22, v4l2-ctl hangs after I am trying to
access /dev/video0. See below:

I want to mention that I've tested and tried to access /dev/video0 using other
software (ex: fswebcam, mplayer, ffmpeg) and get the same behaviour. So for
sure, presented problem is not related to distribution (ubuntu, fedora) and has
the same behaviour when mplayer, ffmpeg or fswebcam is used. All binarie hangs
and put device (/dev/video0) in an uninterruptible sleep.
This is looks like a bug report ... so please help me to fill it accordingly!
