Hi, Pawel and Marek, I would really like to hear your opinions on this patch. I remember that the assumption of the mem2mem framework (not to be confused with mem2mem type of devices) was that it was for simple devices where one output buffer was equivalent to one capture buffer. More complicated devices were supposed to use videobuf2 directly. Please state your opinions.
