I don't know what design decisions are implemented there, but I tested a
couple of cameras for sending a STREAMOFF after a few captured buffers,
sleeping for a couple of seconds, requeuing buffers, sending STREAMON and
capturing a few more - that seems to have worked. "Seems" because I only
used a modified version of capture-example, I haven't checked buffer
contents.
BTW, Hans, may I ask - what cameras did you use?
Thanks
