But that's not much of an argument here, because any solution will require
patching libng or even its v4l2 driver.
Anyway, by doing it Youness' way we will avoid an ugly thing like if(driver ==
pwc) { ..... } by adding a real feature. The only disadvantage being all
reports about 'webcam not released when using v4l2' that we certainly will
get.
