I think you just dug up a significant clue.  We are having problems with 
xawtv.  I'll use the info below to help track it down.

As for mplayer, _that_ should be working, but you can't run mplayer like 
it is talking to a V4L device.  Just feed /dev/video0 (or whatever) to 
mplayer as if it were a normal file (i.e. don't enable V4L) and it should 
work.  When running in this mode, you can still use sysfs to control the 
device.

I agree this is a less-than-optimal situation.  I've just been snowed 
under with driver related work in the past two weeks.  I am only now just 
starting to get dug out.  The translation of the bad ioctl()'s from xawtv 
is a really good clue.  I'll see what I can do with that.
