Bug description:
  Impact
  ------

  Snapshot fails to show the camera feed when a USB camera is present in
  addition to the embedded one since boot.

  Test plan
  ---------

  *Power a computer with an integrated webcam off.
  *Plug an USB camera in.
  *Power the computer.
  *Start Snapshot.

  Expected: Snapshot starts showing the live feed of one of the cameras.

  Regression potential
  --------------------

  Detection and use of devices relying on the V4L2 on systems using
  Pipewire.

  Original description
  --------------------

  Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Beta

  On multiple computers, it appears like Snapshot doesn't work until I either:
  - unplug the external USB webcam and plug it back in
  - use the Fn key to disable the internal webcam and re-enable it

  I have reported this issue upstream
