Original commit message from CVS: This patch fixes some issues caused by design issues in video4linux, adds some nicety to video4linux2 plugins and does some more evil stuff: * video4linux doesn't tell us which formats are supported by a card, so the only way to know this is by simply trying it out. This patch adds that. * v4lmjpegsink didnt have a bufferpool yet - is integrated now. * all copy() bufferpool functions have been removed since they're not needed. * v4lmjpegsink doesnt have a free() function, because hen playing the frames, all this is already handled. When the frame is not played, nothing has to be done. In total, the function is not needed. * adds a get_caps() function to v4l2src * some minor crap

Original commit message from CVS: Some final fixes for the v4lsrc elements. * remove software sync thread (use GST_ELEMENT_THREAD_SUGGESTED instead) * make all src elements threadsafe * fix num_buffer argument setting in v4l2src (VIDIOC_S_PARM) * re-add bufsize (RO) for v4lmjpegsrc * fix the A/V sync calculation in all elements (spvf=GST_SECOND/fps, not GST_SECOND*fps) * probably some more crap.... With all this, it actually works quite well. The TODO files describes the next steps in order to make a full-featured video recorder based on these elements and GStreamer (bottom). Making a simple recorder should be fairly easy now, btw.

Capturing:
==========
* sound is the master clock
* it's probably a good idea to create an audiosource element:
- autodetect alsa/oss
- first try alsa, then oss... they work the same internally
* same for videosource:
- autodetect v4l/v4l2 + mjpeg capabilities
- for this, just open device using v4l2element. On success:
+ use v4l2
- on failure:
+ use v4lelement and query for MJPEG capabilities
+ if that's available, combine caps of v4lmjpegsrc and v4lsrc
* both sources run in their own GstThread with a high priority
* an encoder element takes care of encoding + muxing. A toplevel element
(reverse of spider) is probably a good idea here. How? Don't know...
* format negotiation via filtered caps
* statistics via listening to the frame_{lost,inserted,deleted,captures}
signals and GST_PAD_QUERY_POSITION (gst_pad_query())
