Whatever language it uses, the library should provide a standard C API interface and avoid using libraries that may not be available on the systems supported by the v4l-utils package, as other packages and a libv4l-compatible interface should be linked using it. It should also be something that the existing v4l-utils developers are familiar with. Right now, we have only C and C++ code inside v4l-utils. So, I'd say that the language should be either C (the obvious choice) or C++. It should also be licensed using the same terms as v4l-utils libraries, e. g. LGPL 2.1+. Thanks, Mauro
