I just posted a solution for Linux on Stack Overflow. It looks like you were close for Linux (cap_v4l) -- my guess is you have a libv4l build and need to edit cap_libv4l.cpp instead.

@berak, re: not letting my answers through originally (which I assume was you), do you think this benefits OpenCV users with this issue, given that it is a correct answer?

@berak, I have been unhappy with "link answers" as well when the links are poor -- e.g., make me search for the answer on the linked page. But this case is very different. The link is directly to the answer, the answer is exactly to the question, and the answer is written by the same author (I would likely not do a better job here). So for negligible cost to the reader I gain the advantage to only have to update one place if I want to improve the answer (which I did twice), and may not have done updates for three places (I have two links to my answer), so readers benefit, too. So while it is a trade-off, to me the link clearly seemed the better choice than "copy and paste."

I posted what worked for me on stackoverflow, where I also have a link to my OpenCV issue tracker post.

@answers.opencv, I do not know why you did not allow my previous answer through, and I will stop trying after this attempt. As a general design principle, I strongly dislike repeating code (answers) if I can reuse (link).
