Comment(by kyrian):

 An annoyance which I have recently noted is that aMSN does not sensibly
 seek to get the best settings for your camera, using eg. v4l-conf, or even
 have any kind of bits per pixel (BPP) setting for it.

 The only way to get a decent quality camera to work is to separately run
 xawtv/v4l-conf for it to derive the best settings and save them, and then
 (re-)run aMSN afterwards. Otherwise you get a lined and poor quality
 picture with bad colours (perhaps unsurprisingly tending towards red).

 I think I would view this as an essential part of such support in Pidgin,
 the code for which would be a considerable undertaking in itself I figure.
