dring segfaults when trying to use the webcam with hardware acceleration enabled

I am unable to use my webcam on a Thinkpad T460s laptop with Ubuntu 20.04 and the latest version of Jami when hardware acceleration is enabled. When I click on the gear to configure my Jami account and go to the Media tab, I see a black rectangle instead of my camera's video feed. dring will crash shortly after with the following message in the syslog:

I am able to reproduce this bug every time I open the Media tab or I try to make or receive a video call in Jami.

If I disable the hardware acceleration under the Video section (Media tab), dring is no longer crashing and I can make video calls.
