Hi Ezequiel, The saa7113 chip is (also?) handled by the gspca spca506 subdriver which may be a base for your device. In the gspca test tarball (see my site), I merged the spca506 code into the spca505 for a webcam which may also do analog video capture. The webcam works, but the analog video capture has never been tested. Also, the gspca_main <-> subdriver interface for vidioc_s_input and vidioc_s_std is not very clean. So, you might include your device in this new spca505 subdriver, forgetting about urb, isoc, videobuf.., and just concentrating on the device management (image format, video controls, USB exchanges..). I am ready to cleanup and extend the gspca subdriver interface to handle any specific need. -- Ken ar c'hentañ | ** Breizh ha Linux atav! ** Jef | http://moinejf.free.fr/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
