while i understand the urge to define a multimedia-framework for BSD,
i think it's too little too late.

i believe the proper way to propell BSD into multimedia is to adopt
V4L(2). i made the multimedia/pvrxxx driver V4L2 compatible, and made
mythtv compile and run. now it just works.

i don't particular like V4L(2), but me thinks it's the only way.

regards,
