You can use any of them, provided that it is opened as if it were a
normal file, using the read() interface. For example, this should work:
cat /dev/videoX | mplayer -cache 8000 -
The thing is that most apps assume that a V4L2 device supports mmap().
This is true for almost all devices, being hdpvr - and pvrusb - two
exceptions.
