Hi All, The gstreamer folks have asked to add an API to libv4l2 so that they can distuingish between formats emulated by libv4l2 and formats offered raw by the hardware. I think this is a usefull thing to do and I think this is best done by adding a new flag for the flags field of the v4l2_fmtdesc struct. So I would like to propose to add the following new flag to videodev2.h : #define V4L2_FMT_FLAG_EMULATED 0x0002 And add the necessary documentation to the spec. The emulated term is what I've always been using in libv4l discussions for formats which are not offered native by the hardware but are offered by libv4l through conversion. If someone has a better name for the flag suggestions are welcome. If you read this and even if your only thoughts are: seems ok to me, please reply saying so. It is very frustrating to suggest API additions and not get any feedback.
