read() is indeed on my todo-list. The mmap() method was implemented first, is it was the most efficient and widely used method. I just haven't had time to implement read() yet. I'm not sure if read() was a good idea in the first place, but as it's now in the V4L2 specification I'll try to implement it sometimes.
