You'll just need the last version of the import_v4l2 module :) The 1.2.0 development plan included the addition of tuning support for that module, and the code is already on HG. Unfortunately, HEAD is on flux those days, so isn't yet ready to be used (even for the brave testers :(, unluckily) I'll backport the module to 1.1.x and merge it for 1.1.3, and drop a note here when it's ready to be tested.
