run gst-inspect-0.10 v4l2src (or v4lsrc) to see what you can use on the
"caps"
frequency and channel were "properties" that was in some previous
version of v4l2src and has been removed (by mistake) I hope to have time
at some point to put them back. Anyway you can choose them using
GstTuner interface in your program.
There is a very simple test app you can see how v4l2src works

I would say that v4lsrc and v4l2src are quite similar to be used in
GStreamer, the main difference is the internally which implements v4l or
v4l2 standards to talk to device drivers.
