[gst-devel] GStreamer element implemented as Linux kernel module?

[Arnout Vandecappelle]

 v4l2src from the video4linux2 is a nice example.  It resides in gst-plugins-
good/sys/v4l2.

 But I don't see why you would need this to optimize buffer copying.  Unless 
you do something like videocrop, there shouldn't be any buffer copying, except 
at the source and sink.  And there you already have some elements that use 
kernel buffers directly (e.g. v4l2src and v4l2sink :-)

 Regards,
 Arnout
