Any reason a shim library is simpler than porting apps to V4L2?
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).
See my reaction to Bill's question, and yes there are a few usefull proprietary
apps in the mix unfortunately.
You might also want to see what can be done to remove GStreamer's V4L2
plugin's experimental status:

That definitely the plan as I want cheese to be working 100% out of the box.
