redirect v4l2 webcam stream?

[sergiom99]

Hi there,
in my company's intranet we have a flash-based video-chat app (sort of chatroulette) that only takes input from a video camera.
My laptop webcam is mapped at /dev/video0 and the flash app sees it as 'HP Webcam V4L2'.
I want to direct a video (in Kaffeine or Mplayer) clip or an Oo presentation to this app. (Now I point the camera back and forth to another PC)

Is there a way to redirect the stream and make it pose as a webcam to be detected by other apps as a webcam? Maybe /dev/video1.

I tried with

mplayer video.avi > /dev/video1

but didnt work.

Hope I made myself clear.
Thanks for your help.
