Public bug reported:

Hi,

My new Vaio Pro 13 has a webcam from Chicony which doesn't work
properly. Using Cheese I can se myself for like a second, then the
stream ends. In Google Hangouts my image contains static and is
distorted (see attachement).

Using streamer to take a snapshot the image looks fine in 640x480, but
if I want it to take a HD image in 1280x720 I get an error and the
output file looks as when in an hangout.
