This isn't a ubuntu issue, but I am hoping somoene on this list can point me in
the right direction.  got no response from the v4l list.

example code:  1 is from the Video for Linux v2 API spec.  2nd is vivi.c (part
of vanilla kernel)  I would post the vivi one to http://bugzilla.kernel.org but
it may really be part of capture.

1. memory leak:
valgrind ./capture --userp -d /dev/video1
==17153== malloc/free: in use at exit: 2,457,632 bytes in 5 blocks.

2. capabilities mismatch:
./capture --userp -d /dev/video1
VIDIOC_QBUF error 22, Invalid argument
