+TODO list (short term):
+=======================
+* v4lsrc/v4lmjpegsrc/v4l2src: fix interlacing (not handled at all...)
+
+TODO list (long term):
+======================
+* v4lmpegsrc (*hint* MPEG card needed *hint*)
+* v4l2sink
+* BSD-videosrc (bktr)

+Useful Documentation:
+=====================
+MJPEG/V4L API : ./videodev_mjpeg.h

+V4L API       : /usr/include/linux/videodev.h or

+Capturing:
+==========
+* sound is the master clock
+* it's probably a good idea to create an audiosource element:
+   - autodetect alsa/oss
+   - first try alsa, then oss... they work the same internally
+* same for videosource:
+   - autodetect v4l/v4l2 + mjpeg capabilities
+   - for this, just open device using v4l2element. On success:
+      + use v4l2
+   - on failure:
+      + use v4lelement and query for MJPEG capabilities
+      + if that's available, combine caps of v4lmjpegsrc and v4lsrc
+* both sources run in their own GstThread with a high priority
+* an encoder element takes care of encoding + muxing. A toplevel element
+   (reverse of spider) is probably a good idea here. How? Don't know...
+* format negotiation via filtered caps
+* statistics via listening to the frame_{lost,inserted,deleted,captures}
+   signals and GST_PAD_QUERY_POSITION (gst_pad_query())
