Im working on putting a proposal together: Basically
- Original V4L interfaces
- V4L2/Buz multiple buffer posting (non mmap)
- V4L2 format descriptions/table
- V4L2 style enumerate supported formats
- Buz codec setup/control - done in a style like the Stradis if possible
- Stradis V4L extensions for remote input/media control
