Will that mean that the new API will not support the /dev/video* devices at all,
or at at the moment ? What is the difference between the /dev/video device and
/dev/ost/dvr ?

Does it also mean that other tools, like VDR (AFAIK it is using /dev/video* )
will not work
with the new API ?

Thanks
Peter
