Please don't. This effectively prevents allocating new buffers while streaming if they're for a different format than that used by the stream. That was the very point in struct v4l2_format being part of the argument to the IOCTL. If this is not used right now I could well imagine someone to need it sooner or later. -- Kind regards, Sakari Ailus e-mail: sakari.ai...@iki.fi XMPP: sai...@retiisi.org.uk -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
