     GNOME version: ---


Since ksvideosrc seems unmaintained and throws 'write map requested on
non-writable buffer' errors, I went looking for dshow support. I found
dshowvideosrc, which appears to have been abandoned in 2008.

I'd like to read from a webcam with gstreamer on windows. That could be done
with DShow or MSMF (newest API). Kernel Streaming (ksvideosrc) is deprecated
now.
