Of course for hw that is able to do multiple captures it is best to support it in driver completely, but I dont think it should be done the way one capture per open. The hooks should be there for the situation when number of apps wanting capture exceeds capability of hardware and userspace is not able to solve this effectively. -- Marian Jančár <mjanx123@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
