Could you compile VLC with --disable-libv4l2 and test again? This will
disable a wrapper lib around the kernel v4l2 API which has been known to
cause issues. (Compiling 0.9.9 with or without that flag should also work,
since libv4l2 use is now default disabled at runtime)

If that doesn't fix anything, I'll try to investigate further.
