Looks like your webcam is attaching to a high speed controller, so that
rules out the known issue.

Hrmn. The first two errors indicate either uvideo or your webcam doing
something abnormal, but after that it just returns an error to mplayer,
I can't see where it might be causing this fault in that code path.

Unfortunately it looks like the fault also prevents ddb from printing
the full stack trace. Curses. If instead you type `call dumpsys', ddb
will produce a core dump that can be used for further debugging,
savecore will copy it to /var/crash when the system next starts. Could
you also enable the line 'makeoptions   DEBUG="-g"' in your kernel config
to produce a debugging symbol file.

Ideally I'd like to get my hands on that coredump and have a look at
what it's doing wrong, but as it can contain private details you can't
just upload it to the internet. If you produce it and are fine with
sending it to me, I'll find a secure way of transfering it.
