Re: [PATCH] kino: port to FFmpeg-0.8 API

Apart from this patch, kino needs to be ported to v4l2 API as well,
as the v4l1 API is already gone from F16+ kernels. One can make it
build (as I did) by using the backwards-compatibility header from
libv4l (libv4l1-videodev.h), but haven't tested if the built binary
actually works.
Apps should be using libv4l rather than v4l2 directly. (Otherwise, they
won't work with many webcams out there, because v4l2 doesn't decode weird
formats in the kernel.)
Using the v4l1 compat header from libv4l is good enough until upstream gets
native libv4l support. Please post the patch you used.
