The file node can be opened as many times as you want, but streaming is only
possible for 1 file descriptor. The other ones could be used to change controls
on the webcam (Brightness, Contrast,...)

Don't worry, it is common errors due to bugs into the webcam (most likely an
old logitech device). there are workarounds for those problems, that's why your
webcam still works.

It's interesting to see that the problem is in openSuse but not in Gentoo (I'm
running Gentoo only. So I am unable to reproduce that bug).

I'm checking with openSuse guys right now :-)
