Compiling support for both Firewire devices at the same time can also
give problems in GnomeMeeting itself, for example here :
---
#ifdef TRY_1394AVC
    if (video_device == "/dev/raw1394" ||
       strncmp (video_device, "/dev/video1394", 14) == 0) {
            grabber = new PVideoInput1394AvcDevice();
       }
    else
#endif
#ifdef TRY_1394DC
    if (video_device == "/dev/raw1394" ||
        strncmp (video_device, "/dev/video1394", 14) == 0)
           grabber = new PVideoInput1394DcDevice();
    else
#endif
      {
         grabber = new PVideoInputDevice();
      }
---

Of course, if somebody promises me to do the required tests, I can
update the code (after my holidays) and we can try to have both things
compiled at the same time to see if it works.
