Interestingly, FaceTime and iChat don't seem to have any trouble using the webcam while Skype is running. Since they're Apple apps, they may get priority, however.
Well, I think Skype only interferes with Flash apps, non flash apps that use the camera are unaffected.
This to me implies that both Skype and Flash are doing something wrong.
Reminds me of the recent conflict between the IcedTea (Java) and Moonlight (Silverlight) plugins in Chrome/Firefox http://neugierig.org/software/chromium/notes/2011/01/plugin-...
Is there an equivalent to Video for Windows/GStreamer on OSX?

Apple's media framework and counterpart to VfW/DirectShow/GStreamer/etc. is Quicktime.
