If thats what you want then take a look at the bt848 video capture driver which
Roger Hardiman has gone to a great effort to be easy to understand.
As for the linux apps , so far there is no need to be compatible with them
and the ones that are out there usually come with sources.
At this stage , I am not interested at all on any low level video capture api
from linux. For starters we don't have many programmers that are
willing to code apps let alone multimedia apps.
The present scenario is more like this:
1. We really need application level engineers to lay the foundation for
multimedia applications and to write multimedia applications.
2. We need more low level device driver engineers to code sound drivers
and video capture device drivers. Once we have the engineers then
we can decide upon the API bt848 vs v4linux or whatever.
