[GEM-dev] Gem patches to fix DV4L bugs and crashes

hi.

i have applied the change to videoDV4L, but i think the
pix_vieoNEW.cpp-issue should be handled differently:

this is weird and does not make full sense to me. e.g. if you have
compiled Gem with v4l AND libdv support (2 drivers), then the
stopTransfer() of the currently used handle will be called on
destruction of the [pix_video] object. (this could as well be the
V4L-handle; so the define does not exactly what it suggests that it
might do)

i have replaced your suggestion by calling the destructor of all
existing handles on destruction of pix_videoNEW.

please check whether this still fixes your issues.
