Public bug reported:

When I press capture photo in cheese it shows "There was a error playing video from web cam."
Photo is not stored.
Terminal spits the following

libv4l2: error setting pixformat: Device or resource busy

(cheese:10547): cheese-WARNING **: Device '/dev/video0' is busy: gstv4l2object.c(2838): gst_v4l2_object_set_format (): /GstCameraBin:camerabin/GstWrapperCameraBinSrc:camera_source/GstBin:bin18/GstV4l2Src:video_source:
Call to S_FMT failed for YU12 @ 1280x720: Device or resource busy
