1.2b3 can't access camera

[Steve Sisak]

Hi David,

What OS version and did you apply the security update that came out a 
day or two ago?

Someone posted to the quicktime-api list that the security update 
broke both us an macam, but I haven't verified it yet -- will do so 
shortly.

The light remaining on sounds link ioxdeviced is crashing or not 
launching -- do you see anything suspicious in system.log or 
console.log?

-Steve
