hello, im trying to get two applications (kopete & mjpg-streamer) to listen to the same video device (a webcam) simultaneously.

What exactly keeps this from happening? Without understanding the core issue, I dont know what a good solution would be…

Anyway, I am wondering if v4l2vd could help. Initially I thought of trying to create two virtual devices from the webcam, /dev/video0 for each application, but with the lack of audio support and one of the applications needing audio, im not so sure.

thanks, tom
