In principle, yes.  Unfortunately that is quite a distance from it all
working.

Right, but you can set parameters (bitrate, frame size, NTSC/PAL,
etc.) when loading the module.  This would be enough for me.  I do all
of my recording/encoding with the same params anyway.  When I add a
"quality" selector, this will be a bit more cumbersome but even then,
having to pop and push the driver again will not be so bad,
considering what benefit I get from the driver.
