I'm trying to list available devices with 'webcamd -l' but it doesn't exit in 5 minutes.

It should have a timeout when it communicates to devices and it should never take minutes to query devices.

I think I found the immediate cause: same as in bug#194727

May 24 22:00:28 yv kernel: pcm6: Waiting for sound application to exit!
May 24 22:00:28 yv kernel: pcm6: unregister: mixer busy
May 24 22:00:28 yv kernel: pcm6: Waiting for sound application to exit!
May 24 22:00:28 yv kernel: pcm6: unregister: mixer busy

Once pulseaudio was killed - 'webcamd -l' began to return immediately.

bugmeister would like to thank Hans Petter for his years of ports maintenance
and his work on FreeBSD in general. May he rest in peace.
