The camera is a v4l2 device, at least in OS2008. This means it will work in mplayer (I have it working with Debian mplayer from a chroot) but not in vlc or any other app that can only support v4l. If you got the camera working as a v4l device, that'd be something I'd be very interested in bringing back to Maemo.

Theoretically, the N800's FM radio is supposed to be a v4l device too, but I couldn't get kradio to work with it...

EDIT: Here is a post with a script that sets you up to run Debian apps without rebooting, from Hildon or one of PenguinBait's WMs (KDE, XFCE, etc).
