[FreeBSD 8/9] USB webcamd and video4bsd: Call for testing

[Bruce Simpson]

I don't have any USB webcams at the moment, but you might want to try 
these drivers with Spook, a lightweight RTP/RTSP streamer originally for 
Linux:
     http://www.freshports.org/multimedia/spook/

Spook can use the V4L 1.x mmap() interface. I tried it with a one of 
Luigi's ported drivers; it was not always stable, but it was able to 
stream. It may be a good 'soak test' for the drivers.

As far as I know, the V4L2 API isn't in a BSD compatible form yet. This 
seems to be needed to be able to deal with capture devices which can 
read compressed frames from the device directly.

cheers,
Bruce
