Hi Mauro, Hans, Dmitry, Henrik-

You kindly passed comment on this feature in its earlier form - would it be
possible to have some feedback on the updates?

It would be good to know whether we are on the right track with the V4L2
approach, because there is additional work that we want to base on it.

best regards

Nick
