If we do that, then all other places where the association between an alsa 
device
and a video4linux node is needed will need to copy it, and we'll have a fork.
Also, we'll keep needing it at v4l-utils, as it is now needed by the new version
of v4l2-sysfs-path tool.

Btw, this lib were created due to a request from the vlc maintainer that 
something
like that would be needed. After finishing it, I decided to add it at xawtv in 
order
to have an example about how to use it.

I'm not a big fan or exporting the rest of stuff at libv4l2util.a either, but I
think that at least the get_media_devices stuff should be exported somewhere,
maybe as part of libv4l.

Anyway, as you're releasing today a new v4l-utils, I agree that it is too early
to add such library, as it is still experimental. I'm not considering make any
new xawtv release those days, so I'm OK to postpone it.

I'll commit a few patches commenting the install procedure for now, re-adding it
after the release, for those that want to experiment it with xawtv with the new
support.

Cheers,
Mauro
