good point, they will surely differ. And I surely hope it stays on gst level as you refer.

However, Meego tends to generalize packetizing as far as possible and also gst-plugins packaging tend to gather stuff. So, I had a feeling the camera stuff is not an exception.

If we consider...

qt-mobility (camera API, multimedia/gstreamer/camerabin)
gstreamer
gst-plugins-bad-free (camerabin, libphotography)
gst-plugins-camera (generic source elements and other oss source elements for different hw)
kernel

And when the request comes to use specific implementation - it would mean additional packages, not replacive. Doesn't that look good ?

Although deve's are not having fun with this ideology in Meego, I felt it isn't far from possible if we get humble and sync up to iterate things for camera features. And yet, man could enable all features using HW specific replacive solution.

In mean time, we will likely push another specific package basing on gst-nokia-videosrc and try to enable ways of utilizing it through higher level API's as planned. Unfortunately from my point of view it requires a bit of studying and takes some time. During this workout I have also got a bit diverged input about how things are implemented within top-level components, so its time to read the code myself. However, I'm all ears to anyone working with the field.

Just a quick note highlighting the obvious: the camera source component in 
GStreamer and the subdev drivers are a part of camera HW adaptation. So they 
may (and likely will) differ between different HW platforms.

Hi,
    The source of gst-v4l2-camsrc project in OBS is located at
http://meego.gitorious.org/maemo-multimedia/mfldv4l2camsrc which is
branched from gst-nokia-videosrc. Intel engineers are working on this
project to do more enhancements/fixings for Intel Medfield ISP.
   Also cc'd hu, gang for more technical details.

Thanks
vivian

Subject: [MeeGo-dev] camera subdev solution ?

   Hello,

I've been working with camera stack for Meego/N900. Recently the
gst-v4l2-camsrc was added to meego obs and I was a little confused
about
the naming and different affiliations of the project.

However, I assume kind of generalization is about to happen with v4l2
subdev&  mediacontroller api's, but I would be delighted if someone
could sync me up to the work and roadmap of previously committed
projects.

I have build modified gst-nokia-videosrc project in my obs home
(home:teemu.tuominen) for Meego/N900 to gain raw viewfinder mode
through
gst components (camerabin, subdevsrc). Is gst-v4l2-camsrc now the place
to add such patches ?

regards,
Teemu Tuominen
