hi, i appologize in advnce for stupid questions. i dont have tons experience with kernel hacking or video. that said, i'm in an os course and for the final project, the prof wants me to hack v4l + bttv to allow multiple userspace apps to get data out of a card at the same time. only the first app should be able to set ioctl/settings that modify the video. i see inthe v4l2 specs that this is considered an inherently bad idea. why is this? are there any reccomendations or suggestions as far as how to go about this? i'm working with bttv 0.7.x, v4l1, redhat 8.0smp. thanks in advance, dan sturtevant
