I might have some time (no guarantees yet) to help with this. It would
certainly be interesting to add support for the control framework in the
gspca core. Hmm, perhaps that's a job for the weekend...
Hi Hans,
I hope you will not do it! The way gspca treats the controls is static,
quick and very small. The controls in the subdrivers ask only for the
declaration of the controls and functions to send the values to the
webcams. Actually, not all subdrivers have been converted to the new
gspca control handling, but, when done, it will save more memory.
Actually I've moving gspca over to the control framework on my to-do
list. This will allows us to remove hacks like we have in sonixb.c for
coarse exposure / fine exposure controls. More in general it will allow
(in an easy way) to have per sensor control min/max/step values.
But the most important reason for me to want to use the control framework
in gspca is to get support for control events. Which allow a control-panel
app to dynamically update its display when settings are changed to some
other way (ie another control app, or software autogain).
I do plan to do this in way so that we can do this one subdriver at a
time. I've no idea when I'll get around to doing the first driver
though :)
Regards,
Hans
