Desirable yes, but it's not really feasible yet. We would need a user-space framework that everyone agrees to use. Apps would request a format conversion from a master library, which would dynamically load a format-specific slave library to do the conversion. That would keep the master library small, yet infinitely extensible. No need to recompile apps either. As a bonus, you get MMX/3DNow/SSE support too (although I do have a working MMX version of this module). Good things to think about for the future, but for now we're stuck with this. As a small concession, I promise to remove my YUV420->BGR conversion code for 2.6 :) -- Mark McClelland [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
