CameraMenu: don't change the device if it's the current one (1.34 KB, patch)

Description Jonny Lamb 2011-08-19 10:06:52 UTC 
When you change camera the preview freezes for a bit (that's bug #656884) and then the new camera's video starts up which is great.

However, if you're on one camera and then you select THE SAME camera in the Camera menu then it'll freeze again as you stop and start it. You should detect whether there's an /actual/ change in the camera being used. :-)

A nice easy bug to fix!
