Ok ! After a few search, we found the error :

modules/v4l/v4l.c:369
var_Get( p_demux, "v4l-brighess", &val );

It should be :
var_Get( p_demux, "v4l-brightess", &val );
                                      ^
:O)

Now it's working fine. It recorded the value zero instead in v4l, that's why
the webcam was so black.
Thanks to commit.
