Still happens in Ubuntu 14.04. Webcam led is on after wake up from
suspend or when opening a webpage with flash in Chrome. Using the
LD_PRELOAD workaround stated above still works.

Title:
webcam led is on when camera is not really used
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Fedora:
Unknown
Bug description:
After I had upgraded from Natty to Oneiric I found that sometimes the
led of my webcam was on after boot (ASUS K52 laptop). It makes me a
bit nervous because I really don't want to have my webcam on while
using laptop :)
I tried to find out which program uses the webcam (lsof /dev/video0)
but failed. Today I've found that led becomes active while any USB
device is connected to laptop: USB flash drive or photo camera.
This information helped me to find the problem on Fedora forum:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=615589
so I know that even `sudo udevadm trigger --action=add` leads to led
flash
Unfortunatelly they have no solution, me either.
I believe the problem is somewhere in new udev rules because I never
noticed this problem in Natty before
