The important point is that this is not an A or B discussion. There are lots of ways to tackle it that are neither. If you look at things like complex video format handling it is done in user space but with an infrastructure to handle it. I don't believe putting it in the kernel is the alternative to the current setup. Cleaning up the way what we have today is presented to applications is perfectly possible without a whole new pile of kernel crap, because evdev was designed sensibly in the first place to allow userspace added events. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
