Ok. Meanwhile Asterisk does not crash anymore. Lookls like chan_oss does
not like invalid keypad maps. But still I do net see video of the camera
in the GUI window. v4l-info reports my webcam's size to 320x240. xawtv
reports that it is using 160x120. I tried by resolutions. With these
resolutions the error during opening of the video device are gone,
nevertheless I still have no video.

Any hints?
thanks
