6.Access built-in camera through gstreamer

http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Using_Multimedia_Components/Camera_API_Usage

Since the maemo platform delegates all multimedia handling to the GStreamer framework, applications that need access to the built-in camera should employ GStreamer for this, instead of directly accessing Video4Linux devices, via the v4l2src GStreamer module.

安裝gstreamer tools
sudo gainroot

apt-get install gstreamer-tools
