I have bttv tv-card (/dev/video0) on my machine and then cpia as
/dev/video1. 
Could it be possible to get "autodetection" or at least cmd line options
for detecting/selecting different video sources. Video source
selectors seems to be missing both gqcam and your gtk cpia-control
utility.
With gtk-control-utility it would be easy to automatically pick the
/proc/cpia/video# (since there typically are just one of them).
If there are more then pick the first automagically and provide options
(cmd-line and GUI) to change it.
Could you add selectors for "max_gain" (+other misc features like
ecp_timing, exposure_mode) in the control-utility.
Also could we also have "auto" compression on as default?

Anyway 0.4.4 seems to work (both driver&utilities) :) Great work!
With 0.4.3 and streamer (from xawtv) I once managed to complete freeze my
machine (2.2.12/non-SMP), but I coudn't duplicate the problem....
I'll post details if I manage to reproduce the problem.
