In general it seems like that people were just fighting the existing and working solution from Marcus. I'm actually glad that someone is standing up and trying to make everything easier now. It would be more helpful if you could add some helpful information how to get the devices work, rather than complaining about someone (especially on personal level as it seems) who supposingly brought up a competitive solution. The only issue I see is that this announced work is not opensource, but I'd also rather leave that one open to the enduser instead of generally fighting against it.. Some people here have an aggressiv potential it seems. just my 2 cents, James -- 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
