The thing with v4l2 is that you really want to test against a driver using the
videobuf framework. I would rather look int he direction vivi has taken. But we
are far from being able to do real testing yet there.

Another way around would be to implement simulation through something similar
to libv4l2, which is fully supported in GStreamer. Though, this is out of scope
for this bug report. It's also a lot of work, so unless someone is sponsoring
it, it might not happen.
