about pushing images in appsrc

[andrea cinetto]

Hi,I need to push open-cv images into a v4l2 device. After some googleing I found out that Gstreamer seems to be the best choice to do this. I completed the tutorials and I tried to build a pipeline made by appsrc, videoconvert and v4l2sink.  The problem is that I can not find enough documentation about v4l2sink so I cannot understand how to make it work! I am able to obtain the stream succesfully if I use a autovideosink element but when I switch to v4l2sink the system stops to work.
In the following code there is a simple example using just one image.Anybody know how to deal with this issue?Thanks,
Andrea

#include <gst/gst.h>
#include <cv.h>
#include <highgui.h>

static GMainLoop *loop;

static void
cb_need_data (GstElement *appsrc,
          guint       unused_size,
          gpointer    user_data)
{
  static gboolean white = FALSE;
  static GstClockTime timestamp = 0;
  GstBuffer *buffer;
  guint size,depth,height,width,step,channels;
  GstFlowReturn ret;
  IplImage* img;
  guchar *data1;
  GstMapInfo map;
  g_print("image buffered");
  img=cvLoadImage("frame1.jpg",CV_LOAD_IMAGE_COLOR); 
  height    = img->height;  
  width     = img->width;
  step      = img->widthStep;
  channels  = img->nChannels;
  depth     = img->depth;
  data1      = (guchar *)img->imageData;
  size = height*width*channels;

  buffer = gst_buffer_new_allocate (NULL, size, NULL);
  gst_buffer_map (buffer, &map, GST_MAP_WRITE);
  memcpy( (guchar *)map.data, data1,  gst_buffer_get_size( buffer ) );

  GST_BUFFER_PTS (buffer) = timestamp;
  GST_BUFFER_DURATION (buffer) = gst_util_uint64_scale_int (1, GST_SECOND, 2);

  timestamp += GST_BUFFER_DURATION (buffer);

  g_signal_emit_by_name (appsrc, "push-buffer", buffer, &ret);

  if (ret != GST_FLOW_OK) {
    /* something wrong, stop pushing */
    g_main_loop_quit (loop);
  }

        "format", GST_FORMAT_TIME, NULL);
  g_signal_connect (appsrc, "need-data", G_CALLBACK (cb_need_data), NULL);

  /* play */
  gst_element_set_state (pipeline, GST_STATE_PLAYING);
  g_main_loop_run (loop);

  /* clean up */
  gst_element_set_state (pipeline, GST_STATE_NULL);
  gst_object_unref (GST_OBJECT (pipeline));
  g_main_loop_unref (loop);

  return 0;
  }
