You would need to compile yourself. Instructions are here:

I don't know how Homebrew works. To apply the patches, you would need
to grab the patch files from the emails, i.e. sections like this:

diff --git a/libavdevice/avfoundation.m b/libavdevice/avfoundation.m
index 3622be0..2ac1b3c 100644
--- a/libavdevice/avfoundation.m
+++ b/libavdevice/avfoundation.m
 <at>  <at>  -191,7 +191,7  <at>  <at>  static int
avf_read_header(AVFormatContext *s)
             goto fail;
         }
     } else {
-        video_device = [AVCaptureDevice
- defaultDeviceWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeMuxed];
+        video_device = [AVCaptureDevice
- defaultDeviceWithMediaType:AVMediaTypeVideo];
     }

     // Video capture device not found, looking for AVMediaTypeVideo
-- 
1.8.3.2

(I don't know where to get the proper ASCII versions of these patches)
and apply each of them with
patch -p1 -i <patchfilename>

before the configure of make stage. As said, I have no idea how to
interrupt homebrew stages.
