Everyone loses: it is not intended to be used from userspace, was in
general never intended to be, and there is no replacement. However, at
least for sarge, we are taking the pragmatic approach - we'll fix it to
work from userspace (if any of the glibc maintainers ever find time
again :().
If you can provide a patch for the issue that would of course help. I
thought I'd already fixed <linux/videodev.h>; I was able to build
mplayer using it...
