This problem still exists on Fedora for me (AG3.1b2).  It exists on multiple computers; however....
Am I the only person experiencing this?

Symptoms are:

Multiple video producers on Fedora and/or Redhat.
When I join a room, the proper device and port are selected; however on some of the producers (not
consistent... sometimes one, sometimes two etc) it is just blue output.  When I hit 'Menu' and
reselect the port (not even deselect - just reselct) the camera source properly shows up.  Further,
on many of these capture cards (bttv based Impact VCB) I have to select the Television input when in
fact I'm using one of the Composite inputs....


Thoughts?
