Webcam versus still camera: howto get correct kernel modules loaded?



I have a cheap camera that works both as a webcam and a still
camera. So I can use it both with xawtv and gphoto2. The problem is,
when I plug it in USB, stv* modules are loaded automatically. These
modules prevent gphoto2 from working. 

Root can rmmod those modules, but I need to find a way for ordinary
users to use this camera alternatively as a webcam or with gphoto2. I
hope something less risky than sudo rmmod/sudo modprobe is
possible.

Suggestions?
