a nice use i see with this conf file is to change default video in device. so that you don't have change your patch if you change computer (1 with V4L and 1 with V4L2 webcam)...
like that.
or whether you want to use threaded image loading or not. (i couldn't think of a way to not want that; till karmic...) ((right; we shouldn't use configuration to circumvent bugs))
