The current request is for a YUV420 color space conversion because apparently gnomemeeting doesn't work with RGB24. I don't want to add that, but I know the end user will be happier with the driver if I do, and the time it will take me to put in a color space conversion in the driver is likely a small fraction of what it will take to get the change into gnomemeeting.
The time it would take to add that to gnomemeeting would be time well spent. There are quite a few cameras that only output RGB (ibmcam and se401, to name a couple). The majority of the time would be spent writing the conversion function, and that has to be written in either case. In fact, ibmcam.h has a YUV->RGB macro that you could probably use.
Also, don't forget about the time you will have to spend dealing with angry users after Alan removes the conversion function from your driver ;-)
See this page if you don't believe that will happen: http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/driver-reject.html
