The DQBUF locking fixup was merged on libv4l2 for version 1.2. So, the
potential breakage happens when libv4l2 is 1.2 and Gstreamer versions
before 1.4.
Do you have any procedure on gstreamer to fix a bug on stable releases?
A backport is possible, even though not trivial. Also, due to resources
there is no guaranty of a new stable 1.2 release. For GStreamer 0.10, it
is no longer maintained since 2 years already (mentioning since Laurent
was using an old vendor specific version base on this). Though this
situation isn't different from using a vendor specific kernel.
Those VBI applications don't have any, as they're not actively
maintained anymore. Even if we patch them today, I guess it could take
a long time for those changes to be propagated on distros.
So, I guess that the best is to try to fix Gstreamer on the distros
that are using libv4l version 1.2 and a pre-1.4 Gstreamer version.
This seems an unlikely mix, as Gst 1.4 was released at around the same
moment as libv4l2 1.2.
cheers,
Nicolas
