This is clearly a programming error; fmt 0 is undefined, and a size 0x0 is
certainly not possible.

Well, I think it tries to probe a palette that matches your display depth
(RGB565), which the driver doesn�t have (and never did). Also, this points
out another error in xawtv: it uses a very small image size to probe the
available palettes, disregarding the minimum size as returned by GCAP. In
fact, in my driver I have to specifically work around this :( It should use
the minimum size.

The webcam does not have VIDIOCGAUDIO/VIDIOCSAUDIO calls yet. They will be
added sometime.

No, there�s a problem between xawtv and the video4linux interface, now. It
used to work.
