Skype and Cheese do work (however they didn't work some time again, probably with an older kernel). Now Skype and Cheese work but mplayer /dev/video0 doesn't.

are you sure /dev/video0 is a mjpeg video stream? any other players play it?

I don't know whether it is an mjpeg video stream.
But if I remember correctly, mplayer /dev/video0 did work in the past.
mplayer tv:// -tv device=/dev/video0 -nosound does work.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
I've forgotten to say that mplayer (when playing /dev/video0) does NOT open any windows.
