Original commit message from CVS: Some interface implementations for video4linux/video4linux2 plugins: * a Tuner interface, with which one can select inputs and stations. Audio work is underway here, but unfinished. * A Xoverlay interface with which one can do simple overlay. Similar to the API of the v4l/Xv XFree86 extension. Widget implementation for GTK-2.0 coming up in the sandbox. * Colorbalance - for adapting colors (brightness, contrast, etc.) - pretty basic and maybe somewhat overdesigned. But it'll do for now. Apart from these interfaces, there's also a loadable library 'xwindowlistener' that listenes to X for the movement of a window and the overlap of other windows. This is partly copied from xawtv (and thus partly GPL :(), but it's needed for the xoverlay interface implementation in the v4l/v4l2 elements. Lastly, some small changes to remove redundant properties from the v4l/v4l2 elements since these can be done much simpler. Comments appreciated! |

v4l2 plugins
============
The idea is a bit the same as the idea for the v4l1 plugins. We want
one generic v4l2element, and a few child objects (probably only two:
v4l2src and v4l2sink):
/-------- v4l2src
v4l2element ---=
\-------- v4l2sink
Both v4l2src and v4l2sink have a uncompressed and a compressed
recording-/playback-mode. Since this is all part of v4l2, the 'client'
of these elements, i.e. an applicaiton using v4l2src/v4l2sink, will
hardly notice this. All capsnego stuff is done inside, and the plugin
knows which formats are compressed and which are not.
Please note that the v4l1 and the v4l2 plugins are *not* compatible
concerning properties. Naming has been kept the same where possible,
but in some cases, properties had to be removed or added to make
full use of v4l2.
