Good! Someone with similar hardware can help in testing and implementing
support for compressed v4l2 formats ;-)

streams, I decided to postpone the support for such feature

I have a dirty and half-working patch (at least, I had report of some
kind of "half-success" with it) at home. I think it can be a good
