Same question here. There's a good number of applications that are either obsoleted by a v4l2 version, or support both versions. Which applications were you thinking of supporting with this scheme? Unless there's tens of open source apps that would need changing, or a couple of (useful) proprietary ones that don't support v4l2, the library is probably not very useful to have (especially as you probably wouldn't be able to port _all_ the v4l1 drivers to v4l2). You might also want to see what can be done to remove GStreamer's V4L2 plugin's experimental status: http://tinyurl.com/4ft7ej Cheers -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
