As shown above (and in my original mail) Google supplies a *native 
64-bit binary*.

Google did not package the RPM properly (which is typical of them). The 
RPM calls for "lib4l2.so.0" in a non-arch specific manor, so yum 
installs both arches of the libv4l package. It never uses the 32-bit 
library.

$ rpm -q google-talkplugin --requires | grep libv4l
libv4l2.so.0
