[maemo-developers] Problems accessing the camera in Flash

[From: Merrick Fonnesbeck]

Thanks for the response and the information.  You say the "latest update
broke" your hack.  The latest update of the OS?  And what if I haven't
updated my OS, I have a Nokia N810 with OS2008 version Chinook, so
shouldn't your hack work as long as I don't update?  Please let me know,
thanks.

Someone else pointed out that it only supported V4L1 - but it gets
worse.  Chinook actually had the camera code and there was a hack I
adapted from http://www.swift-tools.net/Flashcam/ which made the camera
(but not audio) work.  The latest update broke the hack.
