+Summary: v4l & v4l2 : bad auto-detection
+
+i have a v4l2 (yep, v2) bttv driver under kernel 2.4.24.
+
+in gst-plugins, v4l is compiled when linux/videodev.h is found and v4l2 is
+compiled when linux/videodev2.h is found.
+
+perhaps it works for kernel 2.6.x (i don't have one to test it) but it
+won't work on 2.4.x as a single linux/videodev.h is used for both v4l and v4l2.
+
+--
+
+the second thing i can see is that video device in the v4lX plug-ins is
+called /dev/video or /dev/v4l/video
+
+the problem is that it sometimes is called /dev/video0 (symlink to
+/dev/v4l/video0)
+
+so, it is configurable somewhere when i say that videosrc is v4lXsrc ?
