QIK streaming seems to be able to use it so......? Maybe?
Or do you mean the Skype source?

Off the top of my head, as root, maybe try something like this:
[before call]
[after call]
[before call]
Code:
cp -a /dev/video0 /dev/zzz0 cp -a /dev/video1 /dev/zzz1 cp -a /dev/zzz0 /dev/video1 cp -a /dev/zzz1 /dev/video0
Code:
cp -a /dev/zzz0 /dev/video0 cp -a /dev/zzz1 /dev/video1

Sorry, I'm just a demo(lition) man; anything I made would probably blow your sh*t right up. No, you need someone that really knows what they're doing. For instance, they would be sure to warn you when the camera app is currently using the rear lens. And they would allow you to choose what app(s) run and quit when you open and close the slide cover. Helpful and robust stuff like that.
Even so, I still think you should try my suggestion. Go for it!
Just reboot if all goes to hell.

I tried this months ago with the gtalk video which worked on 1.1 and it just crashed. I guess something like the resolution and ioctl's just aren't what gtalk or /dev/video0 were expecting.
The python based mirror app is much more simple and confirmed swapping devices does kida work. But unless we're very lucky and they anticipated this in 1.2 it's highly unlikely to work I'm afraid.

I think we all agree the front camera qaulity is 'alright' but not great.
Would it be possible for someone to extend the Skype app to allow for the rear (high def) camera to be used for skype calls?
Sound silly? Not really when you plug into your LCD TV (TV Out) and sit the n900 on top for full screen TV based Skype calls.
(Try it, it works really well)
Would be cool to have the option.
