Comment 134 for bug 215604

What is demasiado extrêmement über outstandingly lovely with v4l2 is that sometimes a v4l2 application needs libv4l to work.
VLC requires also libv4l even in v4l2. Just use preload as Camorama does.
I guess that some applications have limited support for displaying images and so requires a conversion from the native webcam image format to something that suits these applications capacities. This v4l2 working slightly better than v4l1, we could name that kind of v4l2 the v4l2x0.5.
