I already have a python app that works with video4linux.
Now I want to hook up a different camera.  It comes with a library from the
manufacturer.
But nothing related to gstreamer.

I am thinking I should start with existing plugin for camera source.
Perhaps video4linux, and modify source code to talk to other camera.
This way I can instantiate the new element into my python app without any
problem.

How about videotestsrc, would that be good to use as a model?
