internal webcam error: libv4l2: error turning on stream: Input/output error

http://unix.stackexchange.com – Simple problem, not so simple solution as it seems to me. Whenever I try to start viewing my webcam, I get the following error: libv4l2: error turning on stream: Input/output error be it cheese, camorama or vlc. Except in some special cases which I can not reproduce, where it will just work. I've tried to compile it as a kernel module or right into the kernel. In both cases, it randomly works sometimes but not reliably. VLC actually shares some more what's going wrong.

Hi!

I'm trying to stream a video to http with vlc on my headless Ubuntu Server box.

In Unix/Linux you can use pipes to write output and error streams to a file. One can even write them to the same file. Is there a way to write both to the file but maintaining the order.
