This needs to be done differently. The problem is that you really have multiple
events that you want to subscribe to: one for each pad (or input: see the way
VIDIOC_G/S_EDID maps pad to an input or output index when used with a video node,
we have to support that for this event as well).
What you want to do is similar to what is done for control events: there you can
subscribe for a specific control and get notified when that control changes.
The way that works in the event code is that the 'id' field in the v4l2_event
struct contains that control ID, or, in this case, the pad/input/output index.
In the application you will subscribe to the SOURCE_CHANGE event for a specific
pad/input/output index.
In other words, the pad_num field should be dropped and the id field used
instead.
Assuming we will also add a 'changes' field (see my reply to the other post
on that topic), then you should also provide replace and merge ops (see
v4l2-ctrls.c). That way it is sufficient to use just one element when calling
v4l2_event_subscribe(): you will never loose information since if multiple
events arrive before the application can dequeue them, the 'changes' information
will be the ORed value of all those intermediate events.
It's all more work, but it is critical to ensure that the application never
misses events.
