The old API have lots of drawbacks and don't provide enough + means to work with all video and audio standards. The newer API is + already available on the main drivers and should be used instead. + Newer drivers should use v4l_compat_translate_ioctl function to handle + old calls, replacing to newer ones. + Decoder iocts are using internally to allow video drivers to + communicate with video decoders. This should also be improved to allow + V4L2 calls being translated into compatible internal ioctls. +Who: Mauro Carvalho Chehab _______________________________________________________ Yahoo!
