Kino still uses the legacy raw1394 iso interface for capture by default;
however, it can also still use dv1394. I will accellerate the adoption of the
new raw1394 interface since I have already done this for dvgrab 2.0.
Cinelerra supports libiec61883 now.
Unfortunately, gstreamer still uses legacy raw1394 iso interface, but I can
nag someone at Fluendo. I think another high profile app that might be
affected is GnomeMeeting/Ekiga, but I have not kept close track of it.
Also, I have not released a version of libraw1394 that contains the
deprecation warnings, but I can do so this weekend. And then another release
when the removed kernel interfaces are released that removes the functions.
Then I suggest we adjust the date in
Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt (increment by 1 year?) and
also list kino and gstreamer as affected application programs there.
It appears from grep'ing through the sources of Ekiga 2.0.1 that it does
not access (lib)raw1394 by itself.
