I've got a short amount of time, so I'll just answer part of this to

> Why does it fail with the 2.6.13 kernel ? What happens ?

My bad. It seems I was trying to load the 2.6.15 version in the wee
hours of the mornig while running under 2.6.13-15.7. When I load the
right version with the right kernel, it loads just fine. Sorry.

> V4L2 is an API... You will need to code V4L2 support in ffmpeg.

Yep. That's the answer I was afraid of. Thanks.
