It seems to be libv4l issue (similar was reported sometimes ago).

lsusb reports that my webcam is
Bus 004 Device 007: ID 046d:08b2 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Pro 4000

I had been testing the webcam, and plugged it in and unplugged it a few times.  It worked the first time, but then it wouldn't work again, and programs like xawtv, cheese, and mplayer would all hang trying to open it.

It looks like once the webcam is unplugged, it won't work if I plug it in again.
I have to unplug it, remove the philips webcam kernel module with "sudo modprobe -r pwc" or "sudo rmmod pwc", and then plug it in again.

This is a dup of bug 608344, and this is not a libv4l problem but an xawtv bug.
