There are too many technical terms at the media subsystem, and sometimes the same thing is refered differently at the documentation and on the ML and IRC discussions. Let's add a glossary to the uAPI documentation, in order to start using a common vocabulary at the subsystem's discussion and to let things clearer for people trying to understand the subsystem. I'm pretty sure that this document doesn't cover everything, but it can (and should) be improved overtime. On version 11, I addressed the comments from Sakari over the past version with some text improvements on a couple of paragraphs.
