-TODO list (short term):
-=======================
-* v4lsrc/v4lmjpegsrc/v4l2src: fix interlacing (not handled at all...)
-
-TODO list (long term):
-======================
-* v4lmpegsrc (*hint* MPEG card needed *hint*)
-* v4l2sink
-* BSD-videosrc (bktr)

-Capturing:
-==========
-* sound is the master clock
-* it's probably a good idea to create an audiosource element:
- - autodetect alsa/oss
- - first try alsa, then oss... they work the same internally
-* same for videosource:
- - autodetect v4l/v4l2 + mjpeg capabilities
- - for this, just open device using v4l2element. On success:
- + use v4l2
- - on failure:
- + use v4lelement and query for MJPEG capabilities
- + if that's available, combine caps of v4lmjpegsrc and v4lsrc
-* both sources run in their own GstThread with a high priority
-* an encoder element takes care of encoding + muxing. A toplevel element
- (reverse of spider) is probably a good idea here. How? Don't know...
-* format negotiation via filtered caps
-* statistics via listening to the frame_{lost,inserted,deleted,captures}
- signals and GST_PAD_QUERY_POSITION (gst_pad_query())
