I found the old webcam and tested again, and your patch worked. I send
here an updated version with proper indentation and a few cosmetic
changes (a comma after io_compressed in io_method, removed empty lines
before return AVERROR(EIO);). A couple of differences from my patch
were that I had av_free(st) which IIRC really isn't necessary even if
the function fails, and I set st->codec->width/height.
