Hi,

> - a/v timebase synchronization (sample count vs. gettimeofday)
> - "immediate" mode support for mplayer
> - fixed colorspace stuff - RGB?? and YUY2 modes now work as expected
> - native ALSA audio capture (optional - just #define ALSA_CAPTURE)

could you send me the latest version of your patch (i've seen some updates
posted to -users, or was it the same version as rc1?) so i'll commit it to
cvs. there were several positive feedback so it seems it works :)

btw, on this topic... 
maybe separating the audio part (oss/alsa grabbing) to ai_*.c or so called
modules would be a good idea to avoid redundancy with the bsd and future
drivers (v4l2?).
