No, I don't think. As I have mentioned already couple of times in this thread, it is only a temporary solution until - I will have time to write Gstreamer plugin - Most video applications do support Gstreamer Gerd wrote: >allow applications control the drivers buffering.

See the points above. Well, I could use several internal and mmap buffers like pwc driver. But since it works so fine right now, I don't want to. And really, you can't deny that it's the applications that should be fixed which expect at least two buffers when the specification clearly says that just one may be available. Unless you say the docs are incorrect... Actually, maybe there's no point fixing application but maybe they should be ported right away to Gstreamer =)
