Have you tried starting it with
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so amsn?
Replace lib32 with lib64 if you are on amd64 version of jaunty

i tried your code in root but i got this:

ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.

i got it working now, the code should be:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so amsn

Thank you!!!

Yes, lib32 and lib64 are path of 64bit distros, in 32bit you just have lib.
Glad to know it works!

Thank you!!!

If that worked then get the source code and compile from scratch you will have a working AMSN.
