Title:
  gstreamer v4l2src fails with device=

Status in “gstreamer0.10” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have only one video device, it is /dev/video0.

  This works:

  $ gst-launch 'v4l2src ! xvimagesink'
  Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
  Pipeline is live and does not need PREROLL ...
  Setting pipeline to PLAYING ...
  New clock: GstSystemClock
  (video plays)

  This does not work:

  $ gst-launch 'v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! xvimagesink'
  Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
  Pipeline is live and does not need PREROLL ...
  Setting pipeline to PLAYING ...
  New clock: GstSystemClock
  ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src0: Internal data flow error.
  Additional debug info:
  gstbasesrc.c(2582): gst_base_src_loop (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src0:
  streaming task paused, reason not-linked (-1)
  Execution ended after 2532703705 ns.
  Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
  Setting pipeline to READY ...
  Setting pipeline to NULL ...
  Freeing pipeline ...

  This means that I cannot read from video1, or use v4l2loopback or
  anything, since gstreamer apparently cannot deal with the device=
  setting.

  For the record, here is part of gst-inspect v4l2src:
