Another minor issue at this stage of development is namespace for device entries. I think we should make clear to the users whether a given device node is related to the extend functionalities or not. A possible solution is to name the nodes with the pairs "/dev/extvideoX" and "/dev/videoX" (as opposite to "/dev/videoX" and "/dev/basevideoX").

The problem with this is that most applications try to open/stat only /dev/videoX, nothing else and this will break the transparency.

The device name is related to udev, not to Kernel. This can be addressed inside the distros. We can generate some suggested way for handling V4L devices with udev.

thanks,
