Original commit message from CVS:
make v4l element do all calls in one thread, this makes performance much better (because of kernel locking, more threads doesn't make sense anyway)
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:
This patch:
1) would provide v4l2 plugins, if only the CVS server wouldn't bork on all commits :-(. This patch will come later on in a separate commit when SF fixes her repository.
2) it fixes capsnego for all the video4linux1 plugins
3) it rewrites the debugging of all v4l1 plugins, which now make use of the standard gstreamer debugging features (gst-mask=...). This should make debugging video4linux1/gstreamer problems much easier then it used to be.

Original commit message from CVS:
* removal of //-style comments
* don't link plugins to core libs -- the versioning is done internally to the plugins with the plugin_info struct,
and symbol resolution is lazy, so we can always know if a plugin can be loaded by the plugin_info data. in theory.
Original commit message from CVS:
Added pthread software sync for improved timestamps and pthread queue and sync control to make sure that frames are queued if we sync on them
Original commit message from CVS:
New video4linux plugins, can also handle hardware JPEG devices. First check-in, probably has lots of bugs which will be fixed when we find them
