Quoting Christian Gusenbauer <c47g@gmx.at> (from Fri, 22 Dec 2006 11:28:15 +0100): > Well, I think I implemented almost all of the v4l2 framework. Then I took the > FreeBSD bktr driver, separated the radio/tuner part and got it working as a > v4l2 aware driver, too. This driver registers with the framework and > a /dev/v4l2/radio0 entry is being created. I got fmtools-0.99.0 up and > running, too. > > But there is a difference to the original Linux framework. AFAIR, in Linux, > one of the kernel structures holds the open file handle, but in FreeBSD > there's no place for it. So I changed the internals of the framework a bit, > but the API for the applications should be the same as for Linux. > > What's missing is the video part.

If yes, can you make it available (maybe someone is interested to proceed). > So before someone steps in and invents the wheel again, please contact Julian > first :-). Can you make it available somewhere in case Julian did not proceed with it? If you don't have a place where to put it online, I offer to put it up on my site for you.
